2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FV61 KHC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 17 June 2025 at 121,483 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues before they could trigger test failures, maintaining a standard that exceeds basic DVSA requirements. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per annum. Between November 2021 and June 2025, the car covered 17,846 miles, showing a steady pattern of use rather than long periods of neglect. The short interval between the December 2022 and June 2023 tests shows a slight dip in frequency, but the annual mileage remains stable around 7,000 miles. This predictable mileage profile reduces the likelihood of unexpected stress on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage outliers. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a 2011 Ford Focus. The buyer should check the rear suspension trailing arms for corrosion and bushing wear, as these often degrade without triggering an immediate advisory. Given the vehicle's age, verifying the integrity of rubber lines and checking the condition of brake discs is also essential. Since no structural advisories were recorded, the buyer should inspect the sills and wheel arches manually to ensure no hidden rust is developing beneath the paint.
