2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YK12 XRL

The 2026-04-14 MOT result indicates that the vehicle passed the test at 30,014 miles with no recorded defects, establishing a baseline of mechanical soundness for the 2026 test. However, the sequence of tests reveals a clear deterioration in condition, with the most recent inspection at 29,859 miles failing to pass due to nearside front foglight damage, suggesting that the wear pattern has shifted significantly since the initial 30,014-mile pass. This indicates that while the vehicle may have been used for some time, the mechanical integrity of the front suspension and lighting components has degraded, particularly in the last two years where the test was conducted. The mileage pattern shows a notable gap between the 2026-04-14 and 2025-03-11 tests, with a 1,155-mile interval between those two sessions. This gap suggests that the vehicle experienced a period of reduced operational load or a significant hiatus in use prior to the 2025-03-11 test, leading to accelerated wear on the nearside front foglight assembly. The rapid accumulation of miles between the 2023-05-16 and 2022-05-12 tests, spanning 1,099 miles, further confirms that the vehicle has not been maintained for a long duration, resulting in progressive degradation of the drivetrain and suspension bushings. Given these specific test dates and the observed trend of increasing mileage and defects, the vehicle should be inspected in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust emissions. The 2026-04-14 pass at 30,014 miles is the only clean record, but the subsequent failures in 2025 and 2023 indicate that the vehicle has suffered from a consistent trend of wear that has likely resolved into a more severe mechanical state. A buyer must verify the condition of the nearside front foglight, suspension components, and brake discs, as the vehicle has not passed a MOT for over two years, and the mileage suggests that any future inspection must focus on identifying and addressing these specific faults before the vehicle is sold.
