2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FG61 ACY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available historical data. The last recorded MOT test on 15 December 2021 at 182,683 miles passed with no defects or advisories noted, suggesting that the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. However, there is no recorded testing for the nearly five years leading to the current date. The previous clean results in 2020 and 2021 indicate that the vehicle maintained its operational standards during its final recorded period. The mileage pattern reflects high annual usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. Between September 2018 and December 2021, the car covered 37,913 miles, representing a consistent usage rate of over 11,000 miles annually. This high mileage puts significant cumulative stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The lack of MOT data since late 2021 is a critical concern, as the vehicle has likely operated without an official roadworthiness check for several years despite the high-mileage nature of the engine. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to account for the significant gap in testing history. Given the 182,000-mile mark, focus on the structural integrity of the subframe and exhaust for corrosion, which is common on this Focus generation. Inspect for signs of worn brake discs, thinning pads, and worn-out shock absorbers or coil springs. Since the last test showed no advisories, a manual check for fluid leaks, perished rubber, and uneven tyre tread is essential to determine if the vehicle has deteriorated since its last official inspection.
