2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CE61 AVL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 4 July 2026 at 96,046 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure due to insufficient washer fluid in both front jets. This minor mechanical failure suggests the owner addresses immediate compliance issues when prompted. Overall, the trend remains stable with no recurring structural failures or major mechanical defects recorded over the last decade. The mileage progression is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between March 2019 at 59,258 miles and July 2020 at 70,633 miles, representing a period of lower usage or extended storage. Since 2020, the car has seen a steady increase of 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually, which explains the expected wear on consumable components and rubber-related parts. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres and lighting systems during inspection. The 2024 test at 88,356 miles flagged multiple tyre issues, including uneven wear on the edges and perishing on the offside rear, which indicates potential alignment problems or delayed replacement schedules. Recurring failures related to headlamp aim and intensity between 2022 and 2025 suggest the electrical components or bulb housings may require close monitoring. While the record shows no significant structural corrosion or brake failures, a physical check of the suspension bushes and brake lines is necessary given the vehicle's age and the history of tyre-related wear.
