2011 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · RJ60 WHE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 21 November 2025 at 76,670 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the most recent failure involving a faulty windscreen washer and misaligned headlamp aim was rectified immediately to achieve a pass. However, the history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care, suggesting that the owner tends to address faults only when they fail an inspection rather than performing regular mechanical checks. At fifteen years old with 76,670 recorded miles, this Ford Focus has averaged a low annual of approximately 5,111 miles per year. This low usage often results in less wear on engine components and brakes, but it can accelerate the degradation of rubber parts and structural elements. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 4,500 miles driven between the October 2024 and November 2025 tests, and approximately 5,600 miles between the September 2023 and October 2024 tests. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the vehicle's structural integrity and suspension components. The September 2023 test flagged corrosion on the rear sub-frame and suspension arm, which, while noted as not seriously weakened at the time, indicates an ongoing process of rust that progresses rapidly once started. The failure in 2024 regarding the nearside front ball joint dust cover further confirms that rubber seals are beginning to perish due to age. Check for cracks in rubber bushings and verify that the existing corrosion has not progressed into structural perforation or significant thinning of the metalwork.
