2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · BC11 HBC

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 9 September 2025 at 107,642 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed within the same week, suggesting that the owner addresses specific defects upon failure rather than following a proactive preventative schedule. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,176 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 94,950 miles and September 2024 at 100,796 miles, the car covered 5,846 miles, followed by another 6,846 miles in the subsequent thirteen months. This steady rate of travel indicates regular use, which is generally beneficial for mechanical seals and brake components compared to vehicles that suffer from long periods of inactivity. While the most recent record shows no defects or advisories, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. Given the age and mileage of this Focus, the inspector should check for perished rubber wish arm bushes and worn coil springs, which are common points of failure on this generation. The buyer should also inspect for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT record does not capture surface rust until it reaches a significant structural threshold.
