2012 FORD FOCUS1.6L Diesel

The 2012 Ford Focus holds a valid roadworthy confirmation, passing the latest MOT on 18 August 2025 at 143,907 miles with no defects logged, a result sitting eleven months before the current date. Across the supplied history from 2023 to 2025, the mechanical trend is stable: four passes and two fails all show zero advisories or faults. The fails recorded on 7 August 2023 at 140,830 miles and 11 August 2025 at 143,897 miles carry no listed defects, with passes issued the next day in 2023 and seven days later in 2025. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 14-year-old car, averaging roughly 10,279 miles annually, yet recent accumulation is light. The vehicle covered only 1,331 miles between the 8 August 2023 pass at 140,830 miles and the 29 July 2024 pass at 142,161 miles. A further 1,736 miles brought it to the 11 August 2025 fail at 143,897 miles, then 10 miles to the subsequent pass. Such low yearly distances imply the keeper used the car sparingly in later life. Documentation before August 2023 is absent, leaving early maintenance patterns unverified. Given the absence of recorded faults, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of age-related components. Suspension bushes and coil springs on a high-mileage 2012 chassis may exhibit fatigue not captured by a clean MOT. Brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for wear or binding, while structural integrity around sills and subframes should be checked for corrosion. The exhaust system should be assessed for emissions and leaks. The anomalous fails without defects suggest the previous owner resolved compliance issues swiftly, but physical verification of those test circumstances remains prudent.
