2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LC11 XOB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with an improving maintenance trend regarding recorded defects. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 105,486 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from multiple advisories in 2025 to a zero-defect result suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying faults flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 13,316 miles recorded between January 2023 and February 2024, which represents a brief period of higher usage compared to the overall annual average. However, the vehicle has covered roughly 8,400 miles over the last eighteen months. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly, which generally helps prevent the age-related degradation of rubber components and seals that occurs with long periods of standing. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and lighting assemblies during a physical evaluation. The 2025 test flagged a worn offside rear anti-roll bar linkage bush and a nearside front tyre worn to the limit; while these may have been replaced, the buyer should check for play in the suspension geometry and uneven tyre wear across the current set. Additionally, the 2024 failure regarding headlamp aim and the 2025 advisories regarding lens defects indicate that the lighting units are prone to clouding or misalignment. Ensuring the lenses are clear and the beams are correctly aligned is essential to maintain the current safety standards.
