2011 FORD FOCUS1.6L Diesel

The 2011 Ford Focus demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-15 at 50,831 miles recording a pass and no defects. The preceding tests from 2024-07-24 (47,558 miles) and 2023-07-25 (45,550 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failure on 2023-07-25 at the same mileage was recorded but without defect details, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor non-critical issue resolved before the subsequent pass. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the history, implying the vehicle has been well-maintained. The vehicle’s mileage of 50,831 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 3,389 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation despite low mileage. Notable gaps between MOTs—11 months between 2022-08-18 (43,318 miles) and 2023-07-25, and 12 months between 2023-07-25 and 2024-07-24—raise questions about service consistency. However, the absence of defects in all but one test indicates no critical deterioration. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden wear. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, and examine the exhaust system for leaks or rust. Structural integrity should be verified, particularly under the chassis, to rule out undetected corrosion. Despite the clean MOT record, the vehicle’s age and mileage pattern warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm components remain functional.
