2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · PE61 YKA

The 2025 MOT for the 2011 Ford Focus shows multiple minor defects, including a damaged windscreen, cracked tyres, and worn brake discs. The offside rear tyre exhibited cracking in the tread edges, while both front and rear brake discs showed signs of wear or scoring. Suspension arm bushes on both front sides were noted as worn but not causing excessive movement. These issues are consistent with the vehicle’s age and mileage, though the low annual average of 2,802 miles suggests lighter use or potential periods of inactivity. Recurring defects in the MOT history highlight a pattern of suspension and brake component wear. Suspension arm bush wear was recorded in 2024 and 2025, with similar issues in 2022. Brake discs showed gradual wear, with scoring or pitting noted in multiple years. Tyre cracking also appears repeatedly, likely due to age rather than heavy use. While no major failures were recorded in the last two MOTs, the persistence of these issues indicates ongoing mechanical degradation, though not necessarily rapid deterioration. The vehicle’s low mileage (42,033 miles at 15 years old) may reflect infrequent use or storage, which can lead to component stiffness or material aging.
