2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FD11 XBZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 88,478 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous concerns have been addressed. This transition from multiple advisories in 2023 to a clean sheet suggests the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle's legal safety requirements. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between August 2022 and August 2023, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in a single year, though usage has since slowed down to roughly 7,000 miles annually in the following tests. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between these intervals of use. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and suspension given the historical data. The 2021 test at 47,409 miles flagged pitted front brake discs, and the 2023 test noted all four tyres had uneven wear near the legal limit. A buyer should verify the current thickness of the brake pads and check for signs of binding calipers or alignment issues if not properly rectified. Additionally, the age of the vehicle warrants a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting, as these are common failure points for this model regardless of the low mileage recorded.
