FD60 DKE MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The record contains 2 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 27 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 8 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure nail in tyre 205/50/17 (5.2.3 (d)”; “Rear fog lamp not working (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
The most critical point to investigate is the gap in MOT history from late 2022 to early 2026; vehicles that sit idle for long periods can develop perished seals and battery degradation. You should verify that the engine management light (MIL) and the significant emissions failures recorded in 2022 and 2026 were permanently repaired rather than temporarily cleared.
Negotiate based on the current advisories regarding corrosion. Ensure you see a comprehensive service history to confirm that the low mileage was accompanied by regular oil and filter changes, as infrequent use can be as damaging as high mileage if maintenance is neglected.
The 1.6L petrol engine is a standard unit for this era, offering moderate fuel economy and relatively straightforward maintenance. Insurance costs typically fall into a mid-range group for the Focus model, and the 2011 petrol tax band is generally affordable.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific vehicle due to the noted corrosion on the suspension and brakes, which will likely require attention soon. Total annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated repairs, are estimated to be between £1,100 and £1,400.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside, specifically the suspension components and brake lines, to assess the extent of the corrosion mentioned in the April 2026 MOT. Check all exterior lighting, including the dipped beams and rear fog lamp, as these have been recurring failure points for this vehicle.
Inspect all four tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as the history shows repeated issues with tyre structure and age. Finally, ensure the engine management light is not illuminated and request a diagnostic scan to ensure no latent fault codes remain from previous emissions failures.
This black Ford Focus has covered 55,627 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for its age. However, there is a notable gap in the MOT record between December 2022 and April 2026. Recent tests highlight failures related to the engine management light, emissions, and tyre integrity, with the most recent pass noting corrosion to the suspension and brakes.
The Ford Focus maintains a 79.2% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points typically being tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
