2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FN61 XDO

The 2011 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent test. In the September 2022 test at 57,416 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, and the history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the available entries. The maintenance trend is clean and consistent, with no worsening or recurring issues flagged by DVLA testers. The recorded mileage sits at 57,416 miles for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 3,828 miles per year. In the September 2021 test at 55,722 miles the car passed cleanly, following a same-day failure at 55,721 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse record shows only 1,694 miles added between September 2021 and September 2022, confirming very light annual use with no rapid accumulation or concerning gaps. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion and suspension bushes given the vehicle's age and low standing mileage, as prolonged inactivity accelerates underbody rust and perishes rubber components. The brake discs and calipers warrant physical measurement despite no test advisories, since light use can cause surface pitting and seized slides that static records will not reveal. The clean MOT trail implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though the single same-day failure with zero defects suggests minor paperwork or identification issues rather than neglected upkeep. Given the low mileage and absence of flagged wear, the Focus remains a sound used purchase subject to a routine pre-sale mechanical check.
