2012 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · CP62 WCT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend following recent repairs. The most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 93,533 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the previous owner has successfully addressed prior issues. While the car suffered two failures in 2024 and 2025, the subsequent clean passes suggest that the mechanical or safety faults identified were rectified rather than representing a progressive decline. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for light to moderate commuting, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. This low annual mileage typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage counterparts. There is a notable burst of activity in May 2025, where the car covered 104 miles in one week between a failure and a passing result, suggesting a targeted repair was performed to meet standards. Since the June 2024 test, the vehicle has covered roughly 10,000 miles, which represents a standard rate of use for this age. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the areas that likely triggered the previous failures, although the specific technical reasons were not listed in the provided summary. Given the age of this Focus, close attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary as these common points of failure often manifest silently. One should also check for signs of corrosion on the sills and exhaust system, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from oxidation if left stationary for periods. The clean recent records suggests the brakes and emissions systems are currently in good order, but a physical check for binding calipers or uneven tyre wear remains advisable.
