Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a reliable, well-maintained hatchback. This specific 2011 Ford Focus shows an exceptionally clean record with no recorded MOT defects over the last three years.
Given the lack of MOT defects, this vehicle appears to have been well-maintained. Your primary focus should be on the service history; ensure the oil and filters have been changed regularly to protect the 1596cc engine. Check for a consistent record of maintenance that matches the steady mileage increases seen in the MOT data.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and brake pads, as these are wear-and-tear items that may not appear as 'defects' until they reach a critical limit. Since the car is over 15 years old, verify that the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced according to Ford's recommended intervals to avoid catastrophic engine failure.
The 1.6L petrol engine offers a balance between performance and economy, typically falling into a mid-range insurance group and tax band for 2011 models. Fuel costs will be moderate, though not as low as modern hybrids or smaller city cars.
Annual costs will be kept low by the vehicle's proven reliability and the wide availability of affordable spare parts for the Focus range. Expect standard maintenance costs for a car of this age, focusing on fluid changes and suspension bushings.
While the MOT history from 2024 to 2026 is clean, always inspect the chassis and sills for surface rust, which is common for 2011-era vehicles in the UK climate. Check the operation of all electrical components, including the windows and infotainment system, as these are not always highlighted in MOTs unless they affect safety.
Perform a cold start to listen for any unusual engine noise or rattles. Although no defects were recorded at 93,558 miles, check the tyre tread depth and ensure there is no uneven wear, which could indicate a need for wheel alignment or suspension work.
This grey 1.6L petrol Ford Focus is in impressive condition for its age, having covered 93,558 miles since March 2011. The MOT history is remarkably clean, showing a consistent pattern of passes with no defects listed since April 2024. It represents a stable, low-risk option in the used car market.
The Ford Focus is generally regarded as a robust and dependable family car, though specific aggregate data for this exact year is unavailable.
