2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MW60 AOT

The defining characteristic of this vehicle’s inspection history is a progressive pattern of corrosion affecting the suspension mounting points and braking components, which ultimately culminated in a severe roadworthiness failure in July 2022. While earlier tests recorded only minor wear advisories, the record shows a clear deterioration in structural and safety-critical areas, with heavily corroded front and rear suspension assemblies and a corroded front sub-frame flagged in September 2021. This degradation was followed by a comprehensive failure just ten months later, where the nearside front coil spring was found fractured, the offside front tyre tread measured below the legal minimum, and multiple lighting and security defects were recorded. The vehicle has not undergone a successful inspection since that date, meaning its current legal roadworthiness status remains unverified and requires immediate attention before any further use. The recorded mileage of 109,587 miles aligns with an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,300 miles, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. This moderate mileage profile suggests the car has not been subjected to intensive motorway commuting or commercial duty, yet the mechanical record indicates that environmental exposure has taken a significant toll regardless of distance covered. The extended period without a recorded test since mid-2022 introduces uncertainty regarding how the existing corrosion and component wear has progressed during this standing or limited-use phase. Vehicles with this mileage profile often retain drivable powertrain components, but the suspension and braking systems remain highly susceptible to moisture-induced deterioration, particularly.
