2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · YD12 ADU

The vehicle presents as mechanically stable with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 14 May 2025 at 110,598 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a four year trend of flawless test results, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very low mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 7,900 miles per year. There was a period of very low usage between May 2021 and May 2022, where the odometer only moved from 101,040 to 101,242 miles. Since then, the annual mileage has increased to a steady rate of approximately 4,000 miles per year, reaching the current total of 110,598 miles. Because the MOT history is unusually clean, it provides no data on the replacement of common wear items. A buyer should manually verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the lack of advisories over five years does not guarantee they are not nearing the end of their service life. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the suspension bushes, as these consumables often wear without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. While the DVSA records show no structural failures, a vehicle of this age often develops rust that may not yet be severe enough to fail a test. Confirming the date of the last oil change and cambelt replacement is essential, as these critical maintenance tasks are not captured in the MOT history.
