2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · CD04 KMD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, with the maintenance trend showing signs of stabilisation following a period of concern. The most recent test in May 2025 at 106,679 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor split on the nearside inner driveshaft. This represents an improvement over the 2023 inspection where multiple brake components and structural corrosion were flagged, suggesting that the current owner is addressing identified mechanical issues before they escalate into failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles between September 2022 and September 2023, and another 8,500 miles leading up to the May 2025 test. This regular usage profile suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often helps keep seals lubricated and prevents components from seizing. A buyer must conduct a thorough under-body inspection of the front and rear sub-frames. The 2023 test at 93,167 miles identified corrosion on both structures, and while noted as not seriously weakened at that time, rust on these Focus components tends to be progressive. You should also verify the condition of the brake discs, as all four corners were flagged as pitted or scored in 2023. The split nearside driveshaft boot noted in 2025 should be monitored to ensure the rubber hasn't torn further, which would lead to grease loss and joint failure.
