FORD FOCUS2011 · 1.6L Petrol

This Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 89,613 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a fifteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,974 miles per year. Between 7 November 2023 and 29 October 2025, the odometer rose from 82,413 to 89,613 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern of approximately 3,600 miles per annum over the last two years. This low annual mileage suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage commuters, though it can sometimes indicate periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for issues that tests often overlook. Low-mileage cars of this age frequently suffer from perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, which degrade over time regardless of distance traveled. Check for signs of corrosion on the sills and chassis, as the MOT record does not highlight any structural integrity issues, but surface rust is common for a 2011 model. Verify the condition of the brake discs for pitting or surface corrosion caused by standing. While the tester flagged no binding calipers or worn pads in the recent entries, the low usage rate increases the risk of seized calipers. A manual check of the tyre dates is also recommended to ensure the rubber has not hardened with age, even if the tread depth remains legal.
