2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · SW61 ACY

The 2011 Ford Focus shows a stable roadworthiness status, with the latest test on 12 September 2025 at 99,890 miles recording a pass and no defects. Annual tests from September 2022 through September 2025 all returned clean results, confirming the maintenance trend has remained steady rather than deteriorating. The record contains a failure on 27 September 2022 at 45,217 miles with no defects listed, reversed by a pass on 28 September 2022 at the same mileage and no defects, indicating a procedural anomaly rather than mechanical fault. Available MOT data begins at 45,217 miles on 28 September 2022 and tracks a regular increase of about 17,750 miles to 62,970 miles on 8 September 2023, then 80,928 miles on 30 August 2024, and 99,890 miles on 12 September 2025. This recent annual distance sits well above the lifetime average of roughly 6,659 miles per year for a 15-year-old car, showing a phase of heavier use in the last three years. No entries predate late 2022, so early ownership care stays undocumented in this extract. A buyer should physically verify suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and near-100,000-mile state. The tests flagged no corrosion, structural integrity issues or exhaust emissions failures, yet Focus chassis of this era often harbour underbody rust and worn steering joints that a pass does not exclude. Previous keepers cleared each examination without advisories, implying they met statutory standards on time, but clean paperwork does not certify component longevity. Inspect tyre tread, wiper blades and exhaust emissions in person, as consumable wear escapes MOT until below limits. The sustained 18,000-mile yearly runs from 2022 to 2025 will have loaded clutch, drivetrain and suspension more than low-mileage use, so a pre-purchase mechanical check remains prudent.
