2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YA11 OML

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though it is currently overdue for its annual inspection. The most recent test on 12 October 2022 at 116,677 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects following an initial failure on the same day that showed no specific faults. Since that entry, there is no recorded data for nearly four years, suggesting the vehicle has either sat stationary or the owner has neglected to seek legal roadworthiness testing recently. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-annual usage, averaging approximately 7,778 miles per year. Between August 2019 at 90,509 miles and October 2021 at 104,745 miles, the car covered 14,236 miles over two years, showing steady use. The jump of 11,532 miles between September 2021 and October 2022 indicates a period of higher activity. While the low mileage is positive, the age of the vehicle means rubber components and fluids may be subject to degradation regardless of the distance traveled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are common failure points on Focus models of this era. Check for chassis corrosion, particularly around the subframe and mounting points, where rust often accumulates over time. Given the long gap in MOT records, verifying the condition of the suspension bushes and checking for seized brake calipers is essential, as these parts can seize if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods.
