2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FH12 BYZ

The 2012 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 November 2025 at 118,778 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative correction rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior four years the vehicle cleared every MOT with no advisories, showing consistent mechanical condition. Recorded mileage sits at 118,778 against an age of roughly fourteen years, equating to about 8,484 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a car of this period. The trail shows 97,953 miles on 9 November 2022, 106,490 on 8 November 2023, 112,701 on 27 November 2024, and 118,778 on 24 November 2025. Annual increments of six to seven thousand miles confirm light, steady accumulation with no abrupt gaps or high-load spikes. The clean DVSA history gives no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, given the vehicle's age and winter road salt exposure. Verify the twin 24 November 2025 entries with the selling garage to confirm the failure was purely clerical. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and fluid condition as routine consumables, though none drew tester comment. The absence of recurring advisories suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring worn components.
