2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · LR11 ACX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 7 April 2026 at 64,505 miles with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern over the last three years, where the car has passed its annual inspections without any recorded advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 4,300 miles per year. Between 8 April 2024 and 7 April 2026, the odometer rose from 54,821 to 64,505 miles. This indicates a steady but light usage pattern. The absence of any recorded defects across these tests suggests the vehicle has been well-preserved or used for short, low-stress journeys. Low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from deterioration caused by inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as these components can seize when not used frequently. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, should be checked for perishing or cracking due to age. The record shows two instances where the car failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 1 April 2025 and 7 April 2026. While the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures, this usually indicates a minor administrative error or a quick fix of a simple consumable item. Given the lack of structural or mechanical red flags in the history, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be on fluid degradation and the integrity of the rubber seals.
