2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CK11 MYA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2026‑03‑17 recorded 73 586 miles and returned a pass with no defects. This outcome follows a brief period of failure in August 2024 when an offside front coil spring was fractured and tyre wear was noted, suggesting the issues have been resolved and the maintenance trend is improving. Since the 2025‑03‑18 test also passed cleanly, the car now presents a stable, defect‑free status. Mileage accumulation shows a low‑usage pattern for a 15‑year‑old car: 73 586 miles over roughly 15 years equates to about 4 900 miles per year, well below typical averages. The only notable mileage jump occurred between the 2024‑08‑08 failure at 60 098 miles and the immediate re‑test on 2024‑08‑09 at 60 119 miles, a 21‑mile interval that likely reflects a same‑day repair and retest rather than regular use. Earlier records indicate steady, modest mileage gains, confirming light historic utilisation. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre condition thoroughly, focusing on the offside rear tyre that has been flagged as worn close to the legal limit on multiple occasions (2022‑08‑16, 2024‑08‑08/09, 2018‑06‑14). Tread depth on the nearside front tyre should also be verified, given the 2018 failure for insufficient depth. The suspension coil spring must be examined for any signs of fracture or damage, as the 2024 failure indicates a component that could compromise handling. Additionally, check the registration plate for deterioration, ensure the brake discs and calipers show no binding or uneven wear, and look for any structural rust or corrosion around wheel arches and underbody panels. Finally, confirm that any fitted child seat does not obstruct full inspection of the adult belt system.
