2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · EN60 ADX

The 2011 Ford Focus currently fails the roadworthiness test. The most recent examination on 28 August 2025 at 160,994 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly that leaves the car legally unroadworthy until a valid pass is issued. Prior to this, the test history shows a stable pattern with passes in 2023 and 2024, though the August 2024 cycle opened with a fail on the same day at 157,951 miles before an immediate pass, again with no defects logged. The trend is not worsening through mechanical decline but is disrupted by unresolved documentation at the latest test. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 10,733 miles per year across the vehicle's fifteen-year life, reaching 160,994 miles today. The records show gentle use: 153,152 miles in April 2022, 156,115 in August 2023, and 157,951 by August 2024, a low 4,799-mile spread over thirty months. A fourteen-month gap then separates the 2024 pass from the 2025 fail, during which only 3,043 miles were added. The sparse, clean advisories across all entries suggest either diligent consumable replacement or tests that omitted reporting wear. A buyer must commission a fresh MOT before purchase given the open 2025 fail. The absence of recorded defects across five years denies insight into suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, or structural corrosion, so these require physical inspection. The same-day fail-pass in August 2024 hints at possible paperwork or minor rectification at the test centre; verify the V5C and test certificate authenticity. At 161,000 miles, expect tired drivetrain mounts and exhausted dampers even if the DVSA log stays silent.
