2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FN61 LHK

The vehicle currently stands in a compromised state, as evidenced by the most recent MOT entry on 2026-04-14 which passed at 77,750 miles, whereas the next available test on 2025-08-18 was conducted at 76,492 miles. This indicates that the vehicle has not maintained a consistent roadworthiness record since the 2025 season, suggesting a trend of worsening rather than improving maintenance. The most recent failure on 2025-08-18 occurred at 76,488 miles, confirming that the vehicle has not been tested in the same condition as the September 2023 test. The mileage pattern reveals significant gaps and rapid accumulation, particularly around the 2025-2026 period. The test dates show a clear break between the September 2023 and August 2025 examinations, creating a noticeable void where the vehicle was not subjected to further assessments. This lack of continuity suggests that the owner may have been absent or that the vehicle was in a state of disrepair for extended periods, leading to the development of wear and tear components that are now visible in the MOT record. Given the recurring faults and the gap in testing, the vehicle should be inspected for structural integrity and mechanical components. The most critical risks identified are the excessive play in the offside headlamp lens, which poses a severe structural hazard, and the offside rear tyre cracking or perishing, which indicates potential suspension or braking issues. Additionally, the offside front wheel bearing excessive play suggests a potential drivetrain or suspension problem that requires immediate attention. A buyer must verify the condition of the headlamp lens, the suspension components, and the braking system before proceeding with a purchase.
