2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · EY61 YEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in early September 2025 at 72,232 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. Following a single failure in August 2022, the owner has maintained a consistent record, suggesting that any previous mechanical issues were addressed promptly and that subsequent maintenance remains diligent. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between August 2022 and September 2025, the car covered 15,043 miles, showing a consistent and low-intensity usage pattern. While low mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, the infrequent intervals between tests can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid chemical breakdown. The data suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short trips rather than long motorway commuting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related failure despite low mileage. Given the age of the Focus, check for perishation in the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts, which can become brittle over fifteen years standing. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from rust-induced binding. While the record is clean, a close look at the structural integrity along the rear sills and exhaust system is necessary to ensure that hidden rust has not compromised the chassis during its periods of low use.
