2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · GY11 HPA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT test on 14 January 2026 at 141,379 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner consistently addresses issues immediately following a test failure. While the record shows a pattern of failures followed by passes, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests a reactive approach to rectifying specific test failures rather than a history of escalating mechanical neglect. At 141,379 miles over 15 years, the Focus averages approximately 9,400 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data reveals a significant increase in usage recently, with 17,100 miles covered between January 2024 and December 2024, and another 20,000 miles covered in the thirteen-month period leading up to January 2026. This rapid mileage accumulation indicates the car is currently being used heavily, which will accelerate wear on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The MOT history does not list the specific defects that caused the failures in December 2024 and January 2026, necessitating a thorough physical inspection of common failure points. A buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion on the subframes and rear mounting points, which are frequent weak areas on this generation of Focus. Given the high mileage and recent usage, inspecting the condition of the shock absorbers, coil, and the integrity of the brake discs is vital to ensure the vehicle is not nearing a major mechanical repair cycle.
