2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · CV11 VAY

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 24 July 2024 at 141,214 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its final assessment one day after a failed attempt on 23 July 2024 at 141,209 miles that listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. Recorded mileage shows typical use for a 2011 vehicle, rising from 125,535 miles on 24 August 2022 to 130,067 miles by 1 August 2023, then 141,214 miles at the July 2024 test. This equates to roughly 9,400 miles per year, matching expected averages. The gap between the August 2022 and August 2023 tests shows consistent annual coverage with no standing periods or sudden accumulation, and the sparse clean record suggests routine statutory testing without deferred intervals. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's fifteen-year age and 141,214 miles. The MOT history shows no corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity warnings, so no recurring fault pattern exists to direct targeted checks. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the twin fail-pass pairs in 2022 and 2024 with zero listed defects imply clerical rejections rather than neglected upkeep. Given the absence of advisories across all five entries, the Focus shows no worsening wear trend in consumables or drivetrain components. Verify service records independently, as the MOT alone confirms legal roadworthiness, not internal engine or gearbox condition at this mileage.
