2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · OY11 AGX

The 2026-03-10 MOT at 125,315 miles recorded a failure, so the vehicle is presently not roadworthy. The most recent test shows a fractured offside rear anti‑roll bar linkage and incorrect headlamp aim, while earlier passes at lower mileage indicate the car had been in better condition. These recurring defects point to a worsening trend rather than stability. The odometer reading of 125,315 miles equates to roughly 8,350 miles per year for a 15‑year‑old 2011 model, a rate that aligns with typical usage. Mileage increments between successive tests are modest, rising from 70,513 miles in February 2017 to 125,315 miles in March 2026, with no extended periods of zero activity evident in the record. The only notable irregularity is the duplication of entries on 2019‑02‑11 and 2021‑02‑08, where the same mileage appears with both pass and fail outcomes, suggesting possible clerical errors but not a change in actual usage. A buyer should therefore examine the front suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, verify the integrity of the anti‑roll bar links and rear suspension components, and inspect the coil springs for cracks or fractures. The brake discs, noted as worn, pitted or scored in 2021, merit close visual and thickness measurement, as does the tyre tread, which was recorded as close to the legal limit in 2021. Finally, the headlamp aim, direction indicator colour, and exhaust mounting should be checked for correct adjustment, secure fitting and absence of rust, while the chassis and structural areas should be inspected for corrosion that could compromise safety.
