2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WL60 HFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passed MOT test in February 2026 at 67,760 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the car passed its 2023 and 2024 tests without defects, the failure in February 2025 due to an anti-roll bar linkage and tyre wear suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an official test failure. At 15 years old, this Ford Focus has significantly low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with 7,480 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 7,418 miles in the following year. While low mileage generally reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between services can sometimes lead to age-related degradation, particularly in rubber-based components and seals that dry out or crack despite minimal use. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension geometry, as the recurring wear on the nearside front tyre in both 2025 and 2026 suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The tester flagged an excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage in early 2025, which indicates the front end assembly may be prone to play or knocking. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and brake lines is essential, as low-mileage cars often suffer from surface rust if they sit stationary for long periods.
