2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AP11 AAJ

The 2011 Ford Focus demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-11 confirming no defects at 114,871 miles. The vehicle has maintained compliance over the past three years, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged in the recorded tests. While two MOTs in 2023 and 2025 ended in failure, both recorded no defects, suggesting potential administrative errors or minor non-compliances that were resolved. The absence of critical faults in the latest test indicates the car is currently in acceptable condition for road use. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,658 miles annually. The 2024-10-30 test at 101,190 miles and the 2023-11-14 test at 90,517 miles show consistent accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity periods. The final MOT on 2025-11-11, just eight months prior to the current date, confirms the vehicle’s operational readiness. The sparse defect history suggests the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance, though no major wear indicators are documented. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age. Inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as older models may develop binding issues. Check for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as these are common in 15-year-old vehicles. While the MOT record shows no immediate risks, a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the integrity of these areas to ensure long-term reliability.
