2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · LX61 ABO

The 2011 Ford Focus is presently roadworthy following the January 7 2025 test at 168,133 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. The preceding January 6 test at the same mileage failed, indicating a fault that was corrected before the successful retest, and the December 21 2023 test at 152,297 miles also showed a failure that was subsequently remedied and passed, demonstrating an improving maintenance trend. With 168,133 miles accumulated over roughly 15 years, the annual average of 11,209 miles aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The jump from 134,774 miles on December 28 2022 to 152,297 miles on December 21 2023 represents an increase of 17,523 miles in one year, while the subsequent rise to 168,133 miles by January 7 2025 adds only 15,836 miles over 13 months, indicating steady but not excessive use. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brakes for binding or sponginess, inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis rails, as these components were highlighted in earlier failure notices. Checking tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and exhaust emissions will also provide a full picture of the car’s current mechanical health.
