2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WW11 KEY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following a successful retest in its most recent inspection. While the initial test on 6 August 2025 at 86,171 miles resulted in a failure due to an excessively worn nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, the defect was immediately rectified to allow the car to pass with no further defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the owner is responsive to safety-critical failures once they are identified by the DVSA. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle from 2011, averaging approximately 5,745 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 16,207 miles, showing consistent and low-intensity usage patterns of roughly 5,400 miles annually. This low annual mileage suggests that mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain remains minimal, though low-mileage vehicles often suffer from the degradation of rubber-based components and seized brakes due to periods of inactivity rather than distance. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the entire suspension system, as the recent anti-roll bar linkage failure confirms that components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life due to age. Check the condition of the control arm bushes and shock absorbers for cracking or oil leaks, which are common on older Focus models. Given the vehicle's age, it is also vital to inspect for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as low mileage does not prevent the progression of rust over a fifteen-year period.
