Our Verdict
This 2011 Ford Focus presents a very rea
When inspecting this Ford Focus, verify the physical service history and documentation to complement the MOT data, as testing records only confirm roadworthiness at the time of examination. Check that the rear light clusters noted in the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests—specifically regarding light intensity and colour—have been fully resolved with correct specification bulbs. Given the 1.6-litre petrol engine, ensure cold starts are smooth and listen for any unusual noises from the auxiliary belts or cooling system.
Negotiate on the basis of any upcoming scheduled maintenance, such as cambelt changes if due by age rather than mileage, since the car is over a decade old despite its low odometer reading. Check all interior electronics, heating controls, and central locking functions thoroughly during your viewing, as these are common areas to inspect on third-generation Focus models.
The 1.6-litre petrol engine offers manageable day-to-day running costs, falling into a predictable road tax band for a 2011 vehicle. Fuel economy should align well with typical petrol hatchback averages, making it suitable for both short urban trips and longer motorway journeys.
Insurance groups for the 2011 Ford Focus 1.6 are generally modest, keeping policy costs accessible for a wide range of drivers. Maintenance expenses should remain reasonable due to the high availability of parts, though routine servicing, tyre replacements, and occasional suspension component checks should be factored into your annual budget.
Estimated annual running cost: £1,100-£1,400 covering fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance.
Pay close attention to the rear lighting units, as the 2024 MOT noted incorrect bulb colours and the 2025 test highlighted reduced light intensity on both nearside and offside rear position lamps. Verify that these units are now fitted with the correct specification bulbs and that the wiring connectors show no signs of corrosion or moisture ingress.
Although the model's top MOT failure reasons nationally include tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms, this specific vehicle has not recorded failures in these categories during the documented period. Nonetheless, thoroughly inspect the tyre tread depths and sidewalls, check the front and rear suspension components for wear or play during a test drive, and ensure all exterior lighting operates correctly.
First registered in September 2011, this blue Ford Focus with a 1596.0cc petrol engine has covered just 48,049 miles as of its October 2025 MOT test. The vehicle's MOT record shows five consecutive passes from 2021 to 2025, with only minor advisory notes regarding rear position lamps noted in the two most recent tests. The overall mechanical and test history reflects a vehicle that has accumulated very light use compared to the national average for its model group.
The Ford Focus demonstrates a solid aggregate MOT pass rate of 79.4% across nearly 1.1 million vehicles analysed, with common failure points typically restricted to tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms.
