2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · NV11 RYM

The 2011 Ford Focus has a recent MOT result from 2025-12-08, recorded at 86,337 miles, which shows a pass but includes multiple defects . These include a nearside front wheel bearing with a slight noise, nearside front suspension arm bush wear, and corrosion on both rear brake hoses. A failed MOT on the same date lists the offside rear suspension arm bush as excessively worn , indicating a potential worsening of a recurring issue. The most significant recurring faults involve suspension components and brake hose corrosion . Suspension arm bush wear has been noted in multiple MOTs since 2023, with one instance in 2025-12-08 describing "excessive" wear. Brake hose corrosion (1.1.12 (f) (i)) has appeared in every MOT since 2023, suggesting a persistent issue with brake system integrity. These defects point to ongoing mechanical stress or environmental factors like moisture exposure. The vehicle’s mileage of 86,337 miles over 15 years is low (approx. 5,756 miles per year), which may indicate light use or periods of inactivity. While lower mileage often correlates with less wear, the repeated suspension and brake issues suggest potential under-use-related problems , such as rubber component degradation or corrosion from standing.
