2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CV12 BYK

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 27 May 2025 at 140,276 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though a failed attempt four days earlier on 23 May 2025 at the same mileage raises a minor administrative flag, as the failure was logged with no defects recorded. This pattern suggests a retest or data anomaly rather than a mechanical fault carried into the pass. Annual mileage averages around 10,020 miles against the vehicle's 14-year life, a typical use rate for a 2012 hatchback. The records show steady accumulation: 94,620 miles in May 2022, 108,140 in May 2023, 125,367 in May 2024, and 140,276 by May 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear, and the sparse, clean MOT entries indicate the previous owner kept the car to a basic pass standard without flagged advisories on tyres, brakes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 140,276 miles. The MOT history logs no advisories on structural integrity or exhaust emissions, so no recurring mechanical trend is evident from the data. Given the clean record, focus the viewing on underside corrosion and worn consumables not caught by the annual test. The two May 2025 entries at identical mileage warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm the earlier failure was a paperwork issue, not a concealed defect.
