2011 Ford Focus Zetec 105
CarHunch analysed 267 real MOT records for the 2011 Ford Focus Zetec 105. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2011 Focus Zetec 105 has a first-time pass rate of 76.7%, which sits 3.3 points below the UK average of 80%, suggesting slightly higher-than-average wear and tear at this age. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort entirely, so safety isn't a primary concern on these cars.
At roughly 77,000 miles median, these vehicles are running close to expected mileage for a 13-year-old car, and the 0.85 average failures per test indicates manageable maintenance costs rather than chronic problems. Before buying, have a full pre-purchase inspection done, as the advisory count of zero suggests previous owners haven't caught small issues early—meaning you'll want to identify them yourself before committing.
What to check before buying a 2011 Ford Focus Zetec 105
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
