2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GY61 TGJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 6 August 2025 at 79,405 miles showing a clean pass with no recorded defects. This follows a clean pass in August 2024 at 75,795 miles, suggesting a recent period of consistent maintenance. The history shows a transition from addressing consumable wear and minor electrical faults in earlier years to a completely clear record over the last two testing cycles. The mileage pattern indicates light usage for a 2011 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental progress with no significant gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity. Between the September 2023 test at 71,699 miles and the August 2024 test at 75,795 miles, the car covered 4,096 miles, which aligns with the overall trend of low-intensity driving. This consistent usage pattern typically reduces the risk of heavy drivetrain wear but can sometimes lead to issues related to components sitting idle. The historical record highlights recurring issues with consumable items rather than structural or mechanical failures. The tester flagged tyre wear and edge degradation in 2019, 2016, and 2023, indicating that tyre replacement intervals have historically been managed close to legal limits. Brake components also required attention, specifically regarding thin pads and pitted front discs noted in the 2021 test at 62,052 miles and the 2019 test at 53,640 miles. A prospective buyer should perform a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the discs and pads are currently in good condition, given the previous history of pitting and wear. While the recent MOTs are clear, the low annual mileage means checking for any signs of rubber perishing or seized calipers is prudent. The absence of any structural corrosion or suspension advisories in the recent years suggests the vehicle's chassis and running gear remain in a healthy state.
