2011 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · SJ60 AEO

The Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent DVSA test on 5 January 2026 at 152,075 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only anomalies being same-day fail and pass pairs in early January 2024 and January 2025 that carried no listed defects. Those repeated clean outcomes suggest no worsening mechanical condition over the past three years. The mileage accumulation tracks typical use for a 15-year-old vehicle. In the January 2024 test at 132,729 miles the car passed; a year later on 7 January 2025 it passed at 140,725 miles, showing roughly 8,000 miles added in twelve months. By 5 January 2026 the odometer read 152,075 miles, a further 11,350 miles in the intervening year. The record is sparse but clean, with no advisories logged across any entry, indicating either diligent basic upkeep or superficial test presentations. Despite the absence of recorded faults, the high cumulative mileage demands in-person scrutiny of wear-prone components. The buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, examine brake discs and calipers for binding, and assess structural integrity for corrosion around sills and subframes. Tyres and wiper blades are minor consumables that the tests did not flag, yet they still require visual verification. The consecutive fail-pass entries with zero defects imply previous owners addressed minor non-mechanical issues off-record; such patterns warrant verification of genuine roadworthiness rather than reliance on the bare certificate.
