2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · OE11 AAV

The 2011 Ford Focus is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-07 at 154,325 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, the same date shows a prior failure with no defects noted, suggesting potential administrative inconsistency or unresolved issues. The absence of recorded defects in subsequent tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the lack of detailed fault data limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mechanical state appears to have been managed to meet legal standards, but the failure entry raises questions about unrecorded repair history. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 10,288 miles annually. The MOT records show consistent testing intervals, with no significant gaps between 2023-10-05 (148,574 miles) and 2025-10-07 (154,325 miles). This suggests regular maintenance, though the lack of intermediate checks between 2023 and 2025 means the vehicle’s condition during that period remains unverified. The absence of recurring defects in passes implies no systemic issues, but the failure without recorded faults indicates potential oversights in prior inspections. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in older vehicles. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop without MOT detection. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody and chassis, should also be checked, as it often progresses unnoticed. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate thorough verification of its mechanical integrity beyond documented records.
