2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · NG60 JFZ

The 2011 Ford Focus is currently roadworthy based on the September 2025 MOT test, but its maintenance history reveals a concerning trend. The most recent test on 2025-09-26 at 48,223 miles showed a failure due to seriously weakened front brake discs. This issue was not present in the previous year's test, indicating a worsening condition. The recorded mileage of 48,223 miles over 15 years suggests relatively light use, averaging approximately 3,215 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the test dates, with the vehicle covering only 1,297 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. Earlier, it travelled 1,308 miles between September 2023 and October 2024. The sparse mileage data indicates periods of lighter use or possible storage. A thorough inspection is recommended to assess the condition of the front brake discs, which have rapidly deteriorated. The suspension also requires attention, as the offside front suspension arm pin or bush was worn but not excessively, as noted in the 2025 and 2024 tests. Furthermore, the parking brake's efficiency was below 50% in the October 2024 test, and the offside rear parking brake was inoperative. A buyer should verify the current condition of these components and check for any signs of structural rust or damage. The recurring brake and suspension faults suggest that the vehicle's maintenance may have been neglected or inconsistent. A detailed inspection by a qualified mechanic is essential to evaluate the vehicle's overall condition and identify any potential risks or necessary repairs.
