2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WR61 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing over the last three years. The most recent inspection in November 2024 at 136,423 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum standards. This follows a period of consecutive clean tests, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid recurring mechanical advisory items. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between October 2021 and November 2024, the car covered 44,962 miles, representing a steady usage rate. While a brief failure occurred in November 2022 at 102,624 miles, the vehicle passed the retest just four days later at 102,672 miles. This suggests a minor issue, likely a consumable-related component that required immediate attention, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural neglect. Despite the clean recent records, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear areas typical for a Focus of this age and mileage. At 136,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs often show signs of degradation that a standard MOT might miss. The buyer should also check for corrosion on the rear sills and exhaust system, as the MOT only flags significant structural rust once it compromises integrity. Testing the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers is advisable to ensure the recent clean pass remains consistent.
