2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FL61 BJY

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 9 October 2024 at 120,748 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. Two earlier failures on 7 October 2024 (120,744 miles) and 29 September 2023 (109,808 miles) carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults at the point of testing. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,050 miles per year against the 15-year-old vehicle's 120,748 recorded miles, a typical pattern for the age. The records show steady accumulation: 99,695 miles on 28 September 2022, rising to 109,809 by 29 September 2023 and 120,748 by October 2024. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data, and the sparse three-year MOT trail with clean results suggests light, consistent use rather than neglect or prolonged standing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the age and mileage even though no advisories flag them. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity notes in the record is reassuring, but 13 years of road exposure on a Focus of this era warrants a physical underbody check for rust. The defect-free history implies previous owners kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the two no-defect failures suggest loose test administration rather than rigorous pre-test preparation. Verify service invoices and confirm the 2024 failure cause before purchase.
