2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CE11 AEN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on October 3 2025 at 70,334 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This completes a clean streak spanning the last five years, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical and structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between September 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 14,313 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern of roughly 3,500 miles annually during that period. This low mileage suggests short trips, which typically limits the wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components. However, such low usage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown if the vehicle sits for long periods. While the digital record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for perished or cracked suspension bushes, split hoses, and aging tyres, as these often fail due to time rather than distance. The vehicle's structural integrity should be verified for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, given that the MOT history has not yet flagged any surface rust issues. The brakes should also be tested for seized calipers or rusted discs, which are common issues on vehicles that are driven infrequently.
