2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · SK12 RHZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection without any defects. The maintenance trend appears improving; in the July 2025 test at 133,030 miles, there were no failures or advisories recorded, marking a significant improvement over previous years where the vehicle failed twice. This suggests the current owner has addressed outstanding mechanical concerns and that the vehicle is currently in a compliant state. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 133,030 miles represents an average of approximately 9,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a Ford Focus. The data shows a steady accumulation pattern, with roughly 6,100 miles covered between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 5,000 miles leading into the July 2025 test. This regular usage indicates the vehicle has been driven frequently, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing moisture-related corrosion. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front braking system, as both nearside and offside front brake discs were repeatedly flagged for pitting and scoring across the 2023 and 2024 tests. While these were rectified for the latest pass, the recurring nature of the fault suggests the braking components may be prone to corrosion. Additionally, given the history of uneven tyre wear and a mismatched aspect ratio on the rear axle in early 2024, the buyer should verify that all four tyres are of matching size and specification, and check the suspension for signs of misalignment or uneven wear patterns.
