2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AJ60 HYY

The 2011 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 5 January 2026 at 94,562 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVLA entry shows a failed test on the same date at identical mileage with no defects logged, followed immediately by a pass, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed cleanly in November 2024 at 89,760 miles after a same-day fail with no defects recorded, and passed again in January 2023 at 87,375 miles. No advisories or component failures appear anywhere in the chain. The odometer sat at 87,375 miles in January 2023 and rose to 89,760 by October 2024, then to 94,562 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 2,400 miles over two years, well below the 6,304 annual average for the vehicle's age. The sparse record and low recent accumulation suggest extended periods of storage or very light use, though the twin same-day fail-pass pairs in 2024 and 2026 hint the keeper may have presented the car without correct documentation or lighting checks rather than addressing wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's fifteen years. Standing time accelerates perished rubber and surface corrosion on structural members even when the MOT shows clean. The tester logged no binding calipers or exhaust emissions concerns, but long dormancy can hide stiff handbrake mechanisms and flat-spotted tyres unseen on a rolling road. Given the absence of recorded defects, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The repeated no-defect failures point to clerical or pre-test preparation slips, not deferred mechanical care. Verify underside condition and fluid freshness before purchase.
