Our Verdict

A strong recommendation for buyers seeki

Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 1.8L engine has been serviced at regular intervals, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness, not mechanical health. Given the vehicle's age, verify when the cambelt and water pump were last replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine.

When negotiating, check the date codes on the tyres; while the MOT history is clean, tyres on low-mileage older cars can sometimes perish due to age rather than tread wear. Ensure all electrical components, particularly the lighting, are functioning correctly to avoid the common headlamp issues seen across this model range.

The 1.8L petrol engine is larger than the more common 1.6L variant, which will result in slightly higher fuel consumption and a higher annual road tax bracket. Insurance costs are typically moderate for this model, reflecting its status as a common and predictable family car.

Typical maintenance costs will involve standard consumables such as brake pads and filters. Based on the engine size and age, the estimated annual running cost is likely to be higher than a smaller-engined Focus, primarily driven by fuel economy.

Although this specific vehicle has no recorded defects in its recent MOT history, aggregate data for the Ford Focus indicates that corrosion, tyre wear, and headlamp failures are common. Carefully inspect the wheel arches and sills for any signs of rust that may not have reached the threshold of an MOT failure.

Check the condition of the tyres and the clarity of the headlamp lenses, as these are frequent fail points for the model. Additionally, perform a thorough check of the interior wear and tear to ensure it aligns with the recorded mileage of 76,842 miles.

This grey 2011 Ford Focus 1.8 petrol has recorded 76,842 miles, which is significantly below the expected average for its age. The MOT history is characterised by a lack of recorded defects during its successful tests, although it has undergone two same-day fail-and-pass sequences in 2023 and 2025. It presents as a low-usage example of a widely used model.

The Ford Focus maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 79.1% across over a million analysed vehicles, suggesting a generally reliable platform.
