2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MT61 ABK

The 2011 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 1 July 2025 at 143,463 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in July 2024 and June 2023 also closed with passes and no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not shown escalating mechanical faults across its later life. The ownership pattern suggests consistent statutory testing and resolution of any issues before road use. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a fifteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 9,564 miles per year against the 143,463 miles recorded. The gap between the 24 June 2023 test at 120,625 miles and the 8 July 2024 pass at 132,467 miles shows about 11,842 miles covered in that year, closely matching the long-term average. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with two failed tests on 4 July 2024 at 132,312 miles and 24 June 2023 at 120,625 miles both listing no defects recorded, implying administrative or presentation anomalies rather than mechanical rejections. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm absence of wear below reporting thresholds. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close examination, particularly around sills and subframes exposed to fifteen years of UK road salt. The clean record implies previous owners addressed consumables promptly, but high-mileage drivetrain components such as clutch and engine mounts remain outside MOT scope and require physical assessment.
