2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FP12 KPT

The 2012 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 143,724 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure entry on 13 March 2024 at 119,224 miles shows no defects logged, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 10,266 across the car's fourteen-year life, which is typical for the age. The record traces a steady climb from 102,278 miles at the 17 February 2023 test through 119,224, 127,987, and 143,724 miles at the three subsequent March tests. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the owner kept the test cycle continuous and the odometer progression linear. The DVSA data flags no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across the five entries. A clean sheet over four years suggests previous owners addressed wear before each test rather than letting consumables run to failure. The odd 2024 duplicate test with a nil-defect fail points to a paperwork or presentation issue at the centre, not deferred maintenance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion and check the front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes, as high-mileage Focus models of this era commonly develop play unseen by the annual test until worn. Verify the service history matches the recorded mileages and confirm the 2024 failure was purely administrative before purchase.
