FORD FOCUS2011 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 March 2026 at 121,830 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the car transitioned from a history of failures in previous years to a clean pass. The absence of advisories in the latest test suggests that the previous mechanical or safety issues have been addressed and that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. At 121,830 miles over 15 years, the Focus has averaged approximately 8,122 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 4,000 miles recorded between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, and nearly 4,000 miles between 2025 and 2026. This regular usage suggests active operation rather than long periods of stagnation which often lead to seized components or internal corrosion. While the recent record is clean, the failures in March 2024 and March 2025 indicate the vehicle previously struggled with specific faults that required immediate rectification. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines, as these are common points of failure on this generation of Focus. Given the age and relatively high mileage, a close look at structural corrosion on the rear sills and the condition of the exhaust system is also essential to ensure that the recent repairs have not merely masked underlying decay.
