2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EJ61 YUS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on January 20 2026 at 100,709 miles showed an initial failure due to pitted front brake discs and an inability to complete emissions testing. While the vehicle passed upon retest that same day, the failure on emissions suggests the engine may have been running inefficiently or sensors required immediate attention to meet regulatory standards. At 100,709 miles, the Ford Focus has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old car. The data shows a significant gap in mileage between December 2022 and January 2024, where only 7,661 miles were covered over thirteen months. This low-annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the advisories for cracking and perishing tyres in 2024 and uneven wear noted in 2025 at 92,030 miles. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the pitting and scoring on the discs in 2026 indicate either prolonged exposure to moisture or poor material quality. The recurring nearside rear tyre wear suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bush that has not yet been addressed. Given the age of the vehicle and the history of intermittent use, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion at the mounting points is essential, as the record does not account for the integrity of the frame beyond the basic requirements.
