2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GL60 AAK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 100,743 miles passed with a single advisory for a perishing nearside rear tyre. This represents an improvement over the January 2025 test where the car initially failed for a dipped beam headlamp failure, suggesting the owner addresses immediate safety failures once they are flagged. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 11,140 miles, indicating steady, low-intensity usage. This low annual mileage generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts like hoses and tyres degrading, as evidenced by the cracking noted in the January 2026 record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components based on previous advisories. The 2024 test flagged slight corrosion on a rear brake hose ferrule and a smooth brake pedal, which indicates the hydraulic lines and master cylinder are nearing the end of their effective life. The uneven wear on the offside front tyre in 2024 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified. Given the age of the Focus, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the rear subframe is also essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying chassis decay.
