2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GV11 GKA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend despite a recent setback. The latest MOT on 22 September 2025 at 122,967 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests the owner proactively addressed any identified issues immediately to achieve compliance, and the vehicle has since maintained a clean test record without advisories for the last two inspections. The recorded mileage of 122,967 miles over 15 years averages to approximately 8,200 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical low-use patterns for a family car of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,500 miles covered between October 2023 and September 2024, and another 5,300 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This regularity indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, which helps prevent the premature degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. While the recent history is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common wear points for a Ford Focus of this era. Given the mileage, the inspector should check the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of excessive wear, as these often perish in this age bracket. Particular attention should be paid to structural corrosion on the rear sills and rear wheel arches, as the MOT record does not capture surface rust before it becomes a structural concern. The failure in September 2023 at 108,840 miles suggests a specific component required replacement then, so verifying the current state of brake discs and pads is necessary to ensure no recurring faults are emerging.
