2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WM11 CCX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 156,638 miles passed, the record reveals multiple advisories related to tyre condition and discoloured indicators. This follows a failure in March 2024 where critical suspension components were flagged. The transition from a failure to a pass suggests that the owner addresses major mechanical faults once they reach a legal or safety failure threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 8,401 miles, showing a relatively steady usage profile. The jump of 7,602 miles between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests indicates the vehicle remains in regular, daily use. This consistent mileage accumulation places expected stress on rubber components and braking systems, which is reflected in the recurring wear noted in the MOT history. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the history shows a previous failure of the nearside front ball joint and a damaged inner track rod end. The light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorber noted in 2024 requires re-examination to ensure the seal has not progressed to a full leak. Furthermore, the recurring mentions of perishing the nearside rear tyre and uneven wear on the offside front suggest that the alignment may be out or that tyres are reaching the end of their functional life. It is advisable to check the remaining tread on all four tyres and look for further cracking in the sidewalls before purchasing.
