2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CV12 GFA

The Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status following the November 2025 test, with the most recent pass recorded at 116,881 miles on 2025-11-04 showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available records, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its November 2023 test at 98,957 miles, the November 2024 test at 108,106 miles, and the November 2025 test at 116,881 miles, each with a clean result. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2012 vehicle, averaging roughly 8,349 miles per year against the 116,881 recorded miles. The record shows a steady annual increase of around 9,000 to 10,000 miles between tests, with no sudden jumps or prolonged dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse on detail, listing only pass and fail outcomes with no defects recorded, which limits deeper wear analysis but suggests no formal tester concerns were raised. Both the 2024-11-06 and 2025-11-04 entries show a fail immediately followed by a pass on the same day at near-identical mileages, 108,098 to 108,106 and 116,874 to 116,881 respectively. This pattern implies administrative or minor pre-test corrections rather than substantive mechanical failure, though the exact cause is absent from the record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion given the car's fourteen-year age. No recurring structural or consumable defects appear in the history to demand targeted follow-up. The absence of advisories across all three tests indicates prior owners kept the vehicle to a passable standard at each annual interval. Verify the same-day fail-pass pairs with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed faults before purchase.
