2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · SH60 ACO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 21 March 2026 at 107,236 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak of clean passes suggests the previous owners have proactively addressed any mechanical or safety concerns before they could result in a failure or an advisory. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,150 miles per annum. Data shows a period of lower usage between February 2022 and March 2023, where the car covered only 1,152 miles. However, usage increased significantly in the following years, with 7,167 miles recorded between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components as it prevents the dry rot of rubber parts and brake seizing often associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT history is clean, a physical inspection should still focus on common wear points for this generation of Ford Focus. A buyer must check for early signs of corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as the MOT test only identifies structural rust once it becomes significant. Given the mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs should be verified for signs of play or cracking. Additionally, the lack of recorded brakerelated advisories suggests the calipers are in good condition, but a manual check of the disc thickness and pad thickness remains necessary to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
