2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FG61 ACF

The most recent MOT on 9 February 2022 at 165,119 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the Focus held a roadworthy certificate at that time. The maintenance trend across the available record reads stable, with no mechanical advisories from the October 2018 test through to 2022. DVSA logged a failure on 8 February 2022 at 165,115 miles and another on 16 November 2020 at 158,325 miles, both with no defects cited; a pass followed each within days. This repeated pattern points to procedural or documentation issues at presentation rather than any worsening mechanical fault. The mileage trace fits a typical 15-year service life. In the 29 October 2018 test at 155,818 miles the odometer stood at 155,818. By the 24 November 2020 pass at 158,343 miles the car had added just 2,525 miles across two years, an annual rate near 1,260. A heavier spell followed, with 6,776 miles accrued between November 2020 and February 2022, lifting average use to about 5,400 miles per year. The history is sparse, offering only five entries and zero advisories, so it reveals little about tyre or wiper replacement cycles. Previous owners cleared every mechanical test yet stumbled on administrative failures, suggesting basic paperwork lapsed rather than routine care skipped. A buyer must still commission a physical inspection of age-prone components: front suspension bushes, rear coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and structural corrosion at sills and subframes. The 165,119-mile tally demands scrutiny of clutch bite, drivetrain mounts, and exhaust emissions under load. The four-year void since the last test means current roadworthiness rests on a fresh examination, not this historical record.
