2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · ML11 ABU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on October 13, 2025 at 73,162 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently returned to a passing standard after previous failures. While the record shows failures in 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing tests suggests that the issues were likely minor items or consumable components that were promptly addressed rather than deep-seated mechanical degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,877 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 11,269 miles between the September 2024 and October 2025 tests, indicating a period of higher usage compared to the annual average. Conversely, the narrow 175 mile interval between the failure on September 29, 2025, and the pass on October 13, 2025, suggests a quick re-test following a specific repair, such as a bulb replacement or a minor sensor adjustment. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber bushes and seized brake calipers. Check the control arm bushes and rear spring mounts for cracking, which can occur when a car sits for extended periods. Given the age of the Focus, a thorough check of the structural sills and rear arches is also essential to ensure that surface corrosion has not compromised the chassis despite the clean mechanical history.
