2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YB60 FLE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 8 August 2025 at 73,059 miles. While the most recent test resulted in a clean pass, the preceding failure indicates a period of deferred maintenance. The transition from a significant failure list in August 2025 to a clear pass suggests that the necessary remedial work was performed, though the history reveals a pattern of rectifying faults only when forced by an MOT failure rather than through proactive servicing. With an average annual mileage of approximately 4,871 miles over its 15-year life, the vehicle has seen light usage. The record shows consistent but modest accumulation, with roughly 4,500 miles added between January 2024 and August 2025. This low usage can sometimes lead to issues related to long periods of inactivity, such as the tyre perishing noted in the 2025 records and the corrosion flagged on the rear sub-frame. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension components. The recurring advisories for worn suspension arm bushes throughout 2025 suggest these parts may be nearing the end of their service life despite the recent pass. You should also inspect the rear sub-frame for any progression of the previously noted corrosion, as this is a structural area that can deteriorate quickly. Given the history of brake disc and pad issues, verify the current condition of the friction surfaces and ensure the vehicle pulls up straight under braking, as the low annual mileage may lead to seized calipers or surface rust on the discs if the car is left standing for extended periods.
