2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MV61 WJC

The vehicle exhibits a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT test on 23 April 2025 resulting in a pass at 95,848 miles. Although the record shows an initial fail on the same date, the absence of recorded defects suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor equipment failure during the testing process rather than a mechanical fault. The consistent pass rate over the last four years indicates that the car has been maintained to a reliable standard, with no recurring advisories or major failures noted by testers. The recorded mileage of 95,848 miles over a fifteen-year lifespan averages approximately 6,390 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a Ford Focus of this vintage. The progression of mileage is steady and linear, moving from 71,532 miles in May 2022 to the current figure, showing no evidence of long-term storage or excessive high-intensity use. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has been kept in regular operation, which often helps prevent the issues associated with stagnant components, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common wear items that the MOT test may not fully capture, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes, engine mounts, and the clutch bite point. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for surface corrosion on the subframe and sills is recommended, as these areas are prone to degradation on the Ford Focus platform even if they have not yet reached the threshold for an MOT failure. Verify the service history for evidence of timing belt replacement, as this is a critical maintenance item that falls outside the scope of the annual roadworthiness inspection but is essential for the longevity of the engine.
