2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · EX62 ACV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 September 2025 at 158,201 miles showed no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively addressed potential mechanical or safety issues before they resulted in MOT failures, suggesting a disciplined approach to vehicle care throughout the recorded period. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per annum. Between September 2021 (112,551 miles) and September 2025 (158,201 miles), the car covered 45,650 miles, maintaining a steady interval of roughly 11,400 miles annually. This regular usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not suffered from the degradation often associated with long periods of sitting stationary, which typically benefits seals, hoses, and braking components. While the MOT record is clean, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components subject to high-frequency wear. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering linkage, as these often fatigue around the 150,000-mile mark. Given the age of the Focus, checking for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe mounting points is essential to ensure no hidden rust is developing that a visual tester might have missed during a standard inspection.
