2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · ND11 VCK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean-record trend over the last two years. The most recent inspection on September 4, 2024 at 114,430 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety standards. This follows a period of consistent passes since 2022, suggesting the current owner has addressed any emerging issues to maintain a passing certificate. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a notable cluster of activity between June 14, 2022, and May 16, 2024, where the car covered only a single mile between two tests, likely representing a re-test following the initial failure. Since the June 2023 test, the vehicle has covered approximately 5,000 miles in roughly twelve months, showing a regular driving habit that helps prevent mechanical seizure often associated with long periods of standing. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a Ford Focus of this generation. At over 114,000 miles, the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs are likely perished or showing significant play, which does not always trigger an MOT failure until they become dangerous. Check for thinning metalwork on the rear sills and exhaust mounting points, as the MOT only flags structural corrosion once it reaches a specific threshold. Given the clean history, the braking components should be in fair condition, but verifying the thickness of the discs and checking for caliper sticking remains necessary.
