2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · TT02 WBA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on March 5, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car achieved three consecutive clean passes in the preceding three years. The only recorded failure occurred during the most recent test cycle at 85,486 miles due to a split offside front inner drive shaft CV boot. This fault was rectified immediately, allowing the vehicle to pass one mile later, indicating a proactive approach to mechanical repairs. The mileage profile is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 13,015 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 4,300 miles annually. This low-annual mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber degradation and brake corrosion over long periods. The consistent intervals between tests suggest the vehicle has not been left to sit for extended durations without regular use. A buyer should inspect the offside front drive area to ensure the replacement CV boot is properly fitted and free of grease leakage. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories for suspension bushes or structural corrosion, the age of the vehicle necessitates a physical check of the rear subframe and exhaust mounting points. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for signs of pitting or seizing, as these are common issues on cars that are not driven frequently.
