2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FT11 OFY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent inspection on July 14, 2025, at 94,095 miles. While the car passed with no recorded defects, the immediate failure on that same day suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying a specific issue to secure a valid certificate. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three years indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently performing within acceptable operating parameters. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 82,916 miles and the July 2024 test at 89,971 miles, the car covered 7,055 miles, followed by another 4,124 miles leading into the July 2025 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which prevents degradation of rubber components and seals that often plagues older 15-year-old Ford models. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly and braking system, as these are the most common points of failure on the Focus despite the clean MOT history. Given the vehicle's age, check for perished control arm bushes and signs of corrosion on the rear subframe and mounting points. Since the record shows two failures in 2023 and 2025 without listed defect descriptions in the summary provided, it is vital to verify if the items repaired were minor consumables like bulbs and wipers, or more significant mechanical components.
