2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · YP62 LGL

This Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last four years. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 150,991 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar pattern from the previous two years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 14 year old vehicle. Between 5 December 2022 and 9 December 2025, the odometer rose from 127,999 to 150,991 miles, averaging roughly 7,664 miles per year during this period. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows a consistent usage pattern of 6,728 miles, indicating the car has not suffered from long periods of standing which often lead to seized calipers or perished seals. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre wear across multiple years. While the 8 December 2023 entry shows a failure followed by an immediate pass at 137,618 miles, the lack of listed defects suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a significant mechanical breakdown. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and sills for corrosion, as MOT testers do not always flag early-stage surface rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity. Given the 150,991 mile reading, checking the condition of the clutch and the smoothness of the gear transitions is advisable. You should also verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these critical components are not specifically assessed during a standard MOT test.
