2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · KP61 GHA

The 2011 Ford Focus presents a stable maintenance trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 24 November 2025 at 71,986 miles. No defects or advisories appear across the five recorded MOT entries. The vehicle cleared every examination since November 2022, indicating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. A peculiar entry shows a failure on 10 November 2023 at 50,193 miles with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass the same day, pointing to an administrative anomaly rather than mechanical fault. Mileage sits low for a fifteen-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 41,793 miles at the 7 November 2022 test to 50,193 miles by 10 November 2023, then jumped to 64,008 miles at 12 November 2024, and reached 71,986 miles by November 2025. Annual accumulation peaked at roughly 13,800 miles in the 2023 to 2024 period before easing to under 8,000 miles in the final year. Such a sparse and defect-free record suggests light use and basic statutory testing without deferred maintenance flags. Despite the clean history, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components. The tester recorded no suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear, yet fifteen years invite perished rubber and latent corrosion. Examine subframes and sills for structural rust. Check brake calipers for binding after standing periods. Assess tyre sidewalls for cracking even with adequate tread. The unexplained fail on 10 November 2023 warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no omitted defect. Low mileage combined with age means fluids and belts may degrade by time rather than distance. Verify service history complements the MOT record before purchase.
