2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MT61 ABO

The 2011 Ford Focus holds a sound roadworthiness status following the most recent DVSA test on 23 October 2025, conducted at 117,136 miles roughly eight months prior to the current date of 14 July 2026, where the examiner issued a pass with no defects or advisories. Maintenance trend across the five recorded annual examinations from October 2021 to October 2025 remains stable. Every test returned a clean pass, showing no worsening mechanical or structural condition. Mileage records show disciplined, linear accumulation for a vehicle now fifteen years old. The odometer read 60,629 miles on 26 October 2021, rose to 74,416 miles on 26 October 2022, 87,781 miles on 27 October 2023, 101,912 miles on 29 October 2024, and 117,136 miles on 23 October 2025. Yearly increments averaged near 14,000 to 15,000 miles, slightly above the approximate 7,800 miles per annum lifetime mean but with no gaps beyond the twelve-month MOT cycle. The uninterrupted pass record with zero advisories implies the previous keeper addressed wear items before each test. A buyer should still arrange a hands-on inspection of age-prone components despite the absence of flagged faults. The tester noted no concerns with suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers or corrosion, yet a 117,136-mile Ford of this era can conceal fatigue. Check front lower arms for degraded bushes, scrutinise coil springs for cracks, and confirm rear brake calipers move freely. Examine sills, subframes and suspension mounts for rust that might threaten structural integrity. Exhaust emissions passed at every interval, suggesting the engine and catalyst remain serviceable, but a visual check of the exhaust manifold and a road test for drivetrain noise remain wise. The clean history points to conscientious prior ownership, though independent verification protects the purchaser.
