2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · PY11 AEC

The vehicle is presently road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 19 March 2025 at 109,251 miles with no recorded defects. Earlier failures – notably the coil‑spring fracture on 31 March 2023 and several brake‑disc and lamp advisories – have not recurred, indicating a stabilising maintenance pattern. At 15 years old the odometer reads 109,251 miles, averaging roughly 7,300 miles per year – a figure consistent with typical usage for a car of this age. Mileage increments show a steady progression: 20,112 mi in March 2015, 28,432 mi in March 2016, 37,544 mi in March 2017, 46,591 mi in April 2018, 55,850 mi in April 2019, 65,338 mi in March 2020, 71,746 mi in March 2021, 84,131 mi in March 2022, 92,961 mi in April 2023, 102,353 mi in April 2024 and 109,251 mi in March 2025. No abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps appear, suggesting regular annual mileage rather than periods of neglect or excessive short‑term use. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the braking system: the 2024 test flagged front and rear discs as pitted or scored and pads down to 3 mm, while the 2021 test noted rear disc wear. Tyre tread depth has repeatedly approached the legal minimum, with rear tyres flagged in 2024 and front tyres in 2022 and 2021, so a fresh tyre set may be required. Headlamp condition has been a recurring issue – product on the lens noted in 2020, 2021 and 2024, and a high‑aim front lamp failure in March 2023 – warranting a functional check of all lamps and alignment. The 2023 coil‑spring fracture, though not repeated, signals the need for a suspension inspection, particularly the front off‑side spring and associated bushes. Finally, the 2024 oil‑leak advisory, albeit non‑excessive, merits a visual check for any developing leaks around the engine block. Overall, the MOT history reflects a vehicle that has been kept reasonably up‑to‑date, with most earlier faults addressed. Targeted inspection of brakes, tyres, lighting and suspension will confirm that the car remains fit for continued use.
