2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FH12 LTK

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following the February 2026 MOT, which passed at 143,194 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the recent cycle, with the latest test showing a clean sheet and no advisories carried forward from prior years. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,200 miles, typical for a 2012 vehicle of this type. The records show steady accumulation: 123,689 miles in February 2024, 131,578 by February 2025, and 143,194 by February 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any pass, which suggests routine testing rather than deferred repair. The February 2025 and February 2024 tests each show a fail logged on the day before the pass at near-identical mileages, yet no defects were recorded in either instance. This pattern points to administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults, and the owner corrected whatever triggered the initial entry before the passing run. No suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion were flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the exhaust system, subframe, and brake calipers given the car's fourteen-year age and 143,000 miles. The MOT history offers no evidence of recurring wear items needing attention, but the absence of advisories does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation invisible to the annual test.
