2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WN61 FHV

The 2011 Ford Focus presents a clean roadworthiness status as of its most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 54,869 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from September 2023 through September 2025 resulting in a pass once any initial failure was resolved. The two failure entries on 4 September 2023 and 11 September 2025 both show no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. No advisories appear on any test, so the vehicle shows no worsening pattern of wear. Recorded mileage sits at 54,869 against an approximate 15-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,658 miles per year. The odometer moved from 42,671 miles at the September 2023 test to 48,687 miles in September 2024, then to 54,869 miles by September 2025. That is about 6,000 miles per year over the last two years, a modest rise from the longer-term average but still low for the age. Low annual use of this kind often means long standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop even when the test record stays clear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as the MOT record carries no advisories that would reveal incipient wear. Standing time at low mileage raises the risk of structural rust on sills and subframes despite the clean passes. The duplicate fail and pass on the same dates suggest clerical re-entry rather than rectification, so confirm with the seller that no hidden work was carried out. Given the sparse but clean history, the Focus shows signs of light use and basic compliance rather than neglected upkeep. The absence of recorded faults across three years implies previous owners kept it to minimum statutory standard. Inspect exhaust emissions and tyre sidewalls closely, since these degrade with age irrespective of mileage.
