2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WN61 KPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 91,037 miles resulted in a pass after correcting a headlamp aim and multiple tyre defects, the overall trend shows a recurring history of neglecting basic safety items. The repeated failures due to worn consumable components, such as brakes and tyres, suggest that the owner only addresses faults once the vehicle reaches the point of legal failure. At 91,037 miles, this 15-year-old Focus has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-average usage. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 13,300 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 15,300 miles covered between early 2025 and early 2026. This low mileage explains the perishing of rubber-based components, like the age-related tyre cracking, despite the relatively low distance travelled. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking and suspension systems. The 2025 failure highlighted thin brake pads, pitted discs, and a low hydraulic reservoir level, which indicates either a slow leak or extreme wear that has not been monitored between service intervals. Furthermore, the 2024 advisory regarding worn trailing arm bushes suggests that the suspension geometry is beginning to degrade. Given the recurring issues with age-related tyre perishing and uneven wear across multiple years, the buyer should check for sidewall cracking and ensure the current tyres are not merely legal but structurally sound.
