2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · LR61 ACO

The vehicle’s roadworthiness status is uncertain due to a lack of recent MOT testing. The most recent record, dated 2022-09-26 at 167,229 miles, shows conflicting outcomes (PASSED and FAILED) for the same date and mileage, which may indicate data entry errors or procedural inconsistencies. No defects were recorded in the 2020-2022 tests, but the absence of MOTs since 2022—over four years ago—raises concerns about maintenance continuity. The vehicle’s mechanical condition cannot be definitively assessed without up-to-date inspection data. The mileage of 167,229 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 11,149 miles, which is typical for a 15-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows consistent annual intervals, with mileage increasing by approximately 12,000 miles between 2020 and 2022. However, the sparse record—limited to three tests over two years—offers limited insight into long-term wear patterns. Notably, the 2021-09-07 test at 156,505 miles and the 2020-09-05 test at 144,184 miles both passed without defects, suggesting no immediate structural or mechanical failures during that period. A buyer should prioritize in-person inspection of high-wear components, including suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these are prone to degradation over 160,000 miles. The absence of exhaust emission or corrosion reports in the MOTs does not preclude hidden issues, such as internal engine wear or chassis rust, which require physical assessment. Given the lack of recent MOTs, verifying the vehicle’s current service history and conducting a thorough mechanical check—particularly for binding calipers, uneven tyre wear, and exhaust system integrity—is essential before purchase.
