2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · MW12 SXV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in recent inspections. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 113,962 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the mechanical and structural integrity effectively over the last several years. At 113,962 miles over 14 years, the Focus has averaged approximately 8,140 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation shows consistent use, with roughly 2,500 miles covered between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 2,108 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This regular usage is generally positive for vehicle components as it prevents the seal degradation and brake corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. The only recorded failure occurred on 15 September 2023 at 109,357 miles, though the vehicle passed the retest later that same day. Because the specific reason for that failure is not detailed in the summary provided, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common Focus wear points to be certain. Given the age and mileage, attention should be paid to the condition of the rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and the presence of structural corrosion on the subframe or exhaust mounting points. Checking for binding brake calipers or uneven wear on the brake discs is also advisable to ensure the braking system remains in optimal condition despite the defect-free MOT results.
