2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FT60 CVX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT results. The most recent test in October 2025 at 81,568 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean record across the last five years indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has met minimum standards without the recurring mechanical or structural failures typical of a Focus of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. Data shows a period of reduced use between October 2022 and October 2023, where the car covered only 1,263 miles in twelve months. Since then, usage has increased, with the vehicle covering 14,792 miles between the 2023 and 2025 tests. This low-mileage status suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or minor corrosion on exposed surfaces. Despite the clean history, a buyer must physically inspect for signs of age-related degradation that mileage cannot mask. Focus should be placed on checking for perished rubber bushes, cracked hoses, and perished tyres which often occur over time rather than through distance. Given the vehicle's age, verifying the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure that hidden corrosion has not begun to develop undetected. Additionally, check the brake discs for pitting or rust, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface oxidation if left stationary for extended periods.
