FORD FOCUS2012 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 3 December 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both February 2025 and December 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed the following day at the same mileage. This suggests minor, rectifyable issues such as blown bulbs, wiper blades, or minor fluid adjustments that the owner addressed immediately before the re-test. At 167,654 miles, the Focus has averaged approximately 12,000 miles per year over its fourteen years, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a car of this age. The data shows consistent usage, with 6,000 miles recorded between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 2,300 miles covered between February 2025 and December 2025. This regular interval indicates the vehicle is driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent seals from drying or components from seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, given the high mileage of nearly 168,000 miles. While the record shows no persistent advisories, high-mileage Focus models frequently suffer from worn coil springs and perished bushes. Check the brake discs for excessive thinning and the calipers for binding, as high mileage puts significant stress on these components. Additionally, inspect the chassis for corrosion along the sills and rear mounting points, as these are common areas of structural failure on this generation regardless of a clean MOT history.
