2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · SP11 WVO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance. The most recent test on 20 January 2023 at 151,450 miles passed with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests the previous owner was willing to rectify identified faults immediately to secure a certificate. Given that the last MOT was conducted over three years ago, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified and a fresh inspection is mandatory to identify any mechanical degradation or emerging safety issues. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant gap in testing between March 2020 and November 2021, during which the car covered 14,181 miles. Between November 2021 and January 2023, the vehicle covered another 12,755 miles in just fourteen months. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which typically puts predictable wear on rubber components and drivetrain parts rather than degradation caused by corrosion. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components and structural integrity, as high-mileage Focus models often suffer from perished rear arm bushes and corrosion on the subframe. While the history does not list specific recurring advisories, the failures in 2021 and 2023 indicate that the vehicle reaches the limit of its service intervals periodically. Focus the inspection on brake caliper binding and thinning discs, as the lack of recent data since the last test masks the likelihood of these consumables nearing the end of their functional life.
