Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this black Focus, your primary focus should be on the underside of the vehicle. The 2025 MOT specifically flagged corrosion on the rear axle and worn coil springs; you must confirm that these issues were not just noted, but professionally rectified with high-quality parts. Ask for specific receipts for any suspension or axle work carried out following that 2025 test.
Additionally, check the tyres carefully. The 2023 MOT history shows issues with multiple tyres being worn close to the legal limit or perishing. Ensure the current set has ample tread and no signs of sidewall cracking. Finally, given the 1.6L petrol engine, verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed regularly to maintain engine health.
The 1.6L petrol engine is generally economical for a hatchback of this size, though actual fuel economy will depend on driving style and maintenance. As a 2011 model, it likely falls into a relatively affordable insurance group, but you should obtain a specific quote based on your profile.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, as parts for the Ford Focus are widely available. However, be prepared for potential upcoming costs related to suspension components or braking systems, given the wear patterns observed in the 2025 MOT record.
Inspect the suspension components thoroughly. The 2025 MOT recorded corrosion on both nearside rear and offside front coil springs, as well as a worn lower suspension arm bush. A test drive is essential to check for any knocking or clunking sounds that might indicate these parts have not been correctly addressed.
Check the braking system, specifically the front discs. The 2025 record noted the offside front inner brake disc was worn, pitted, or scored. Ensure the discs and pads appear even and free from heavy scoring. Finally, inspect the rear axle area for any signs of active, progressing corrosion, as this was a recorded concern in the 2025 test.
This 2011 Ford Focus 1.6L petrol shows a mixed MOT history. While it has covered 86,064 miles since its first registration, the 2025 MOT revealed several advisories regarding coil springs, brake discs, and suspension bushes, alongside rear axle corrosion. The most recent test in February 2026 passed with no defects, but the previous pattern of wear suggests a need for close scrutiny.
Based on aggregate data from over one million vehicles, this model has an average MOT pass rate of 79.2%, with common issues including tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
