2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FD62 AAV

The 2024‑12‑20 MOT at 91,236 miles passed without major defects, confirming the vehicle is roadworthy despite recurring tyre edge wear and front coil spring corrosion. The pattern of repeated tyre and spring advisories from 2020 onward shows no clear improvement or deterioration, indicating a stable maintenance record. At 14 years old, the 91,236‑mile odometer averages about 6,500 miles per year, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. The jump from 36,997 miles on 24 Nov 2016 to 46,852 miles on 9 Dec 2017 represents an increase of almost 10,000 miles in 13 months, showing a period of intensive use, while later years display a steady rise without long gaps in mileage accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the front and rear coil springs and suspension bushes for corrosion or fatigue, verify brake pad thickness and disc condition, and check tyre tread depth and edge wear, as these items have repeatedly appeared on the advisory list. Additional attention to any structural rust, exhaust emissions, and the fitment of under‑cover/trays noted in earlier tests will help assess overall mechanical health.
