AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This 2011 Ford Focus presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 at 120,735 miles passed without a single defect or advisory. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2023, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a high standard or has had preventative work carried out before testing. The mileage is typical for a fifteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,049 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between January 2025 and January 2026, where the odometer rose from 102,734 to 120,735 miles. This jump of nearly 18,000 miles in a single year represents a significant increase compared to the 5,221 miles covered between January 2023 and January 2024. The absence of advisories over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a diligent ownership history. The record shows no recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, which are common failure points for this model. A buyer should still perform a physical check of the consumables. Given the recent high-mileage year, the tyres and brake pads may be nearing the end of their service life despite the clean MOT. I recommend inspecting the underside for any surface rust that may not have reached a failure threshold but could indicate future vulnerability.
