2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CK11 ABF

The 2011 Ford Focus with 102,665 miles is currently roadworthy following its 2025-07-03 MOT pass, though the recent 2025-06-26 failure without recorded defects raises questions. The absence of mechanical or safety issues in the latest pass suggests the vehicle is maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. However, the failure in mid-June 2025, occurring just seven days prior, indicates potential procedural or administrative anomalies, as no defects were logged. The lack of recurring faults in prior tests implies a stable maintenance pattern, but the abrupt failure without explanation warrants further scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,844 miles annually. The 2023-06-27 tests—both pass and fail—occurred simultaneously at 96,965 miles, suggesting possible duplication or error in record-keeping. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 show consistent intervals, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. The data lacks detailed defect reports, which limits insight into component wear but does not inherently signal neglect. A buyer should verify the cause of the 2025-06-26 failure, as unexplained MOT rejections may hint at unresolved issues. While no structural corrosion, suspension damage, or brake system faults are documented, the vehicle’s age necessitates inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear, and tyre tread depth confirmed, as recurring MOTs without consumable issues imply cautious maintenance. The absence of advisories on steering or transmission components is positive, but physical verification remains essential.
