2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YS60 FMM

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, though the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test in October 2023 at 140,409 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the immediate issues identified in previous failures were addressed. However, the recurring trend of failing and then passing on the same day suggests that the previous owner only performed repairs when strictly necessitated by the testing process rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 140,409 miles over fifteen years, the Focus has averaged approximately 9,360 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK annual mileage for a passenger car of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with 13,670 miles covered between October 2022 and October 2023, and only 2,612 miles recorded between October 2021 and October 2022. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluid integrity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system components, as the mileage places significant stress on bushes, coil springs, and ball joints. Given the history of failures followed by passes, a thorough check of brake caliper condition and the thickness of discs is necessary to ensure no lingering binding or excessive wear is present. The structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the subframe and mounting points, should be examined for corrosion, as these are common points of failure for a Focus of this age and mileage that are not always captured in a standard MOT advisory.
