2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · BT62 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate rectification following MOT failures. The most recent test on 11 January 2023 at 103,701 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects after an initial failure on the same day. This suggests the owner is proactive in addressing identified mechanical issues to meet compliance standards, maintaining a clean sheet at the end of the last two testing cycles. The mileage progression remains consistent with a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between the 28 January 2022 test at 95,660 miles and the 11 January 2023 test at 103,701 miles, the car covered 8,041 miles. This steady rate of use suggests typical wear patterns without excessive stress on the drivetrain or suspension components. However, the last recorded MOT was conducted over three years ago, meaning the vehicle is currently overdue and requires immediate inspection to verify its current safety status. A buyer should investigate the specific causes of the failures in January 2022 and January 2023, as the provided data does not specify the mechanical faults. Given the age of this Ford Focus, a physical inspection must focus on common wear points such as rear suspension bushes, control arm ball, and structural corrosion on the subframe. Check for signs of binding calipers and the condition of the brake lines, as these components often degrade over time regardless of low mileage.
