2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FX61 WWZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 2 January 2026 at 62,119 miles. This test recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. Following a failure in early 2023, the vehicle has maintained three consecutive clean passes without advisories, suggesting that any previous mechanical issues identified were rectified and that the subsequent maintenance trend has remained consistent. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,141 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 21,466 miles, showing a consistent usage rate of roughly 7,100 miles annually during this period. This low-intensity usage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such infrequent use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or the oxidation of brake surfaces if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. Given the low mileage, the inspector should check the suspension bushes for perished rubber and the sidewalls of tyres for cracking or flat-spots. While the MOT record is clean, a structural integrity check of the sills and rear wheel arches is necessary, as surface corrosion can affect Focus models of this era regardless of distance driven. Verifying the brake caliper pistons for binding or pitting will also ensure the low usage has not resulted in seized components.
