2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · SC11 ACX

The 2026‑04‑21 MOT at 90,804 miles passed, confirming the vehicle currently meets legal roadworthiness standards, yet the preceding failure on 2026‑04‑20 at 90,791 miles revealed deficiencies in brake pad thickness, excessive play in the offside front track rod end and tyre wear that were remedied before the pass, indicating a stable maintenance trend after recent corrective work. The odometer has climbed from 41,108 miles in March 2018 to 90,804 miles in April 2026, an average annual increase of roughly 6,000 miles, consistent with typical usage for a 15‑year‑old car; each year from 2018 onward is represented by a test, showing regular inspection intervals and no prolonged gaps in documentation. Recurring issues include repeated reports of front brake disc wear, pitting or scoring, and thin brake pads across multiple years, signalling ongoing brake system wear that requires close inspection of disc condition and pad replacement; the 2026 failure also recorded excessive play in the front track rod end and rear subframe corrosion, indicating suspension components and structural rust should be examined for worn bushes, binding calipers and chassis integrity. A buyer should inspect the front brake system for disc thickness and pad wear, assess the front suspension for worn track rod ends, bushes and coil springs, and evaluate the rear subframe for corrosion depth; verify tyre tread depth and wear pattern, test all lamps, indicators and headlamp aim, and look for any signs of binding components or structural rust before finalising the purchase.
