2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · YP62 WHB

The 2026-2023 MOT record indicates a lack of consistent maintenance, with the most recent test in November 2024 passing at 199,090 miles while the 2023 test in October 2023 failed at 186,587 miles. This sequence suggests a lack of basic upkeep, as the vehicle has experienced two consecutive failures without any recorded defects, implying that the testing environment may have been compromised or that the owner skipped routine checks. The failure in October 2023 was likely due to a lack of inspection, while the subsequent failure in October 2022 may have been caused by a lack of regular servicing, highlighting a pattern of incomplete maintenance. The vehicle is approximately 14 years old with 199,090 miles, which is high for its age class. The mileage gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests creates a significant accumulation of wear on consumables and drivetrain components. The 2023 test at 186,589 miles is the most recent, but the 2024 test at 199,090 miles represents a substantial increase in mileage since the 2023 failure, suggesting that the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of wear on suspension and brakes. The lack of a clean 2023 test date points to a gap in the history that could have been filled by a lack of regular maintenance, which is a critical red flag for a vehicle of this age. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural risks and mechanical wear that were not captured in the MOT record. The 2023 failure at 186,587 miles, followed by a 2024 failure at 199,090 miles, indicates that the vehicle has been subjected to a high mileage accumulation without a corresponding repair. The 2022 failure at 174,352 miles is the most recent, but the 2023 failure is a gap in the history that requires inspection. The 2023 test at 186,589 miles is the most recent, but the 2024 test at 199,090 miles represents a substantial increase in mileage since the 2023 failure, suggesting that the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of wear on suspension and brakes.
