2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EN11 ADO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean pass in its most recent test in January 2026 at 103,788 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has successfully addressed issues identified in previous tests to achieve consecutive clean results. The transition from failures to a clean pass in late 2024 suggests that the previous owner was willing to rectify mechanical or safety defects to ensure the vehicle met DVSA standards. With a recorded mileage of 103,788 miles over 15 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,900 miles per annum. This is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows a significant increase in activity between January 2024 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered 8,682 miles in under eleven months. This period of higher usage likely correlates with the failures recorded during those months, as increased mileage places greater strain on wear components like suspension bushes and braking systems. While the most recent record shows no defects, the recurring failures in 2024 indicate that the vehicle may have been prone to specific issues. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension arm bushings, coil springs, and exhaust mounts, as these are common points of failure on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, paying close attention to structural corrosion on the inner sills and rear subframe is essential. The buyer should also check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear to ensure the repairs made prior to the 2026 pass remain effective.
