2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AV12 FTX

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent recorded data, having passed its MOT test on 27 October 2021 at 89,702 miles with no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests a stable maintenance history up to that point in time, though the lack of data for the last five years means the current mechanical state remains unverified. Without a more recent test, it is impossible to confirm the structural integrity or the condition of safety components since the 2021 inspection. The recorded mileage of 89,702 miles over a 14-year period reflects an average annual usage of approximately 6,400 miles. This figure is consistent with low-mileage patterns, which typically reduces the wear on drivetrain components and braking systems. However, the significant five-year gap between the last MOT in 2021 and today suggests the vehicle may have spent long periods sitting stationary. Such inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components, such as perished bushes, seals, and tyre sidewalls which are not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to check for hidden structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and underbody, where moisture accumulates during periods of storage. Given the age of the car, the braking system should be examined for seized calipers or corroded brake lines resulting from lack of use. Inspecting the suspension for cracks in control arms and worn bushes is essential, as the low mileage does not prevent the natural material degradation of these vital parts over a decade.
