2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · YS62 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent MOT test on 22 December 2025 at 119,243 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor, avoidable issue was identified and rectified immediately before the retest, as the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety requirements without outstanding advisories. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between December 2022 and December 2025, the car covered 29,106 miles, maintaining a steady usage of roughly 9,700 miles annually. This level of use suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which often leads to perished seals and brake corrosion, nor has it suffered the excessive wear on the drivetrain and suspension components associated with high-frequency high-mileage stress. While the history is clean of recurring structural or major mechanical failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Focus wear points of this age. Given the mileage, check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or tearing. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for pitting and thinness, as the record does not explicitly monitor binding calipers or uneven pad wear until they reach a failure threshold. The lack of advisories across four consecutive tests indicates the previous owners have been reactive to faults rather than proactive with preventative component replacement.
