Our Verdict

This 2011 Ford Focus presents a largely

When inspecting this Focus, verify the physical condition of the coil springs and the rear subframe, noting the corrosion advisories raised during the June 2025 MOT test. Ensure that all four tyres have healthy tread depths well above the legal limit, given previous tests highlighted tyre wear and perishing. Request a complete paper trail of maintenance receipts to verify what physical work has accompanied these test passes.

Equipped with a 1596cc petrol engine, fuel economy should align with typical family hatchback expectations for this generation. Vehicle Excise Duty and insurance group ratings for this 2011 specification are generally moderate, keeping baseline ownership costs manageable. Routine maintenance parts are widely available across the UK, helping to control annual upkeep expenses.

Inspect the nearside front lower coil spring and rear subframe directly for the progression of the corrosion noted in the June 2025 test. Check the sidewalls and tread depth of all tyres, referencing past advisories regarding tyre cracking, perishing, and wear close to the legal limit. Examine the white exterior paintwork for any stone chips or panel corrosion that may require remedial attention.

First registered in September 2011, this white Ford Focus features a 1596cc petrol engine and has accumulated 99,143 miles up to its June 2026 test. Its MOT history shows a consistent pattern of first-time passes across the last five recorded tests between 2022 and 2026, though with occasional advisories noted for tyre wear and corrosion. With a recorded mileage above the national model average for its age, it has been driven regularly across its 15-year life.

The Ford Focus demonstrates a standard UK MOT pass rate of 79.1% across over a million recorded vehicles, with tyres, headlamps, and corrosion serving as the most common failure points.
