2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · P80 MAG

The 1596cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for various budget levels. Fuel economy for this era of Focus is typically respectable for a non-diesel hatchback, though real-world figures will depend on driving style.

Maintenance costs for a Ford Focus are usually manageable due to the high availability of parts. However, you should budget for potential exhaust replacements or repairs given the historical corrosion noted in the MOT records. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be mid-range for a petrol hatchback of this age.

A critical inspection point for this specific vehicle is the underside. Because multiple MOT tests (2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025) noted that engine covers, underbody panels, and sill covers were obscuring testable components, you must ensure a technician can actually see the chassis and suspension components.

Specifically, check the exhaust system for signs of heavy corrosion, as this was a recurring theme in the 2024 and 2025 records. Additionally, while the model aggregate data suggests tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars are common failure points for the Focus, you should inspect these items personally to ensure they are in good condition, as they are not explicitly mentioned in this vehicle's recent passes.
