2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · EN60 AEF

The 2011 Ford Focus with 99,230 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-10-01. The test at 99,230 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, aligning with the prior 2024-08-24 pass at 93,694 miles. However, two failed tests on 2025-10-01 and 2024-08-21 at identical mileages suggest potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies, as no defects were logged. The absence of recorded issues in these tests implies the vehicle met legal standards, but the repeated failures without explanations warrant scrutiny. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the data, indicating no worsening trends. The vehicle’s mileage of 99,230 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 6,615 miles annually, which is typical for its age. The gap between the 2022-06-11 pass (84,313 miles) and the 2024-08-21 failure (93,687 miles) spans 26 months, with a 9,374-mile increase, reflecting steady usage. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 show minimal mileage growth, suggesting the car has not been subjected to rapid or excessive wear. The MOT history lacks significant gaps, and the absence of defects in passes implies consistent maintenance, though the lack of detailed failure notes limits definitive conclusions. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for wear, as these are common wear items in older vehicles. Structural corrosion, especially in underbody areas, warrants scrutiny, as 15-year-old cars are prone to rust in high-moisture environments. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the repeated failures without defect details suggest the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
