2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · JR04 ELY

The 2011 Ford Focus demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-12-20 at 127,764 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Previous tests from 2024-12-31 (121,546 miles) and 2024-02-09 (113,280 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A failed test on 2024-02-05 at 113,123 miles is noted, though no defects were recorded, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor technical failure resolved before the subsequent pass. Overall, the vehicle shows no recurring mechanical or structural concerns in its recent history. The vehicle’s mileage of 127,764 miles over 15 years aligns with an average of 8,518 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. The MOT records show regular testing with no significant gaps, though the 2024-02-05 failure at 113,123 miles occurred just four days before a subsequent pass at 113,280 miles, implying a potential minor issue addressed swiftly. No spikes in mileage suggest excessive wear, and the absence of recurring defects in the record indicates no systemic problems with consumables or critical systems. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for wear, as even minor issues can escalate over time. Structural corrosion, especially in the chassis and underbody, warrants scrutiny, as older vehicles are prone to rust in high-moisture environments. The MOT history provides no evidence of major faults, but proactive checks on these areas will confirm the car’s continued reliability.
