AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2011 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 6 June 2025 at 181,715 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in June 2024 and June 2023 also passed with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has entered a clean inspection cycle over the last three years. The recorded mileage of 181,715 against a 15-year lifespan equates to roughly 12,114 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to sustained regular use rather than long dormant periods. The gap between the June 2023 pass at 171,189 miles and the June 2024 pass at 176,644 miles shows only 5,455 miles covered, yet the car then added 5,071 miles by June 2025, a consistent annual pattern. Two failed tests appear in the record, on 9 June 2023 at 171,184 miles and 31 May 2024 at 176,541 miles, but both list no defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion given the high mileage and age, focusing on subframe mounts, suspension bushes, and coil springs for fatigue. The brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for wear, as the records give no advisory detail on friction components across the interval. The absence of any recorded advisories across the last three passed tests implies previous owners addressed consumables before each June deadline, but the earlier pair of no-defect failures means the DVSA trail offers limited insight into pre-2023 condition. Treat the clean recent history as a baseline, not a guarantee of underlying drivetrain health at 181,715 miles.
