2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LR11 AAO

This 2011 Ford Focus has maintained a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across its most recent tests, most notably passing on 20 April 2026 at 114,227 miles. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three annual tests suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with UK roadworthiness standards, though the single failure in April 2024—despite no defects being logged—raises a minor anomaly. The pattern remains stable, with no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or worsening conditions. However, the lack of advisories in any test means there is no historical documentation of pre-existing concerns that may have been addressed or overlooked. The recorded mileage of 114,227 miles over 15 years aligns with typical usage for this age, averaging around 7,600 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, though the 2024 failure at 99,205 miles—just 78 miles before passing at 99,283—indicates the test may have been conducted shortly after service work. This suggests the vehicle has seen regular, albeit unremarkable, maintenance. The absence of mileage jumps or prolonged inactivity means consumables like brakes and tyres have likely been replaced according to wear rather than neglect. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items on this model by this mileage. The brakes—though never failed—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or in stop-start conditions. Structural integrity is less of a concern given the consistent pass rates, but a thorough examination of wheel arches, sills, and underbody for corrosion is advisable, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in wet or salted environments. The absence of advisories does not guarantee no underlying issues, so attention to fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and the condition of hoses and belts is essential.
