2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · DA62 MBV

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 74,963 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test on 2 December 2025, the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a minor administrative error or a rapid rectification of a trivial issue before the successful retest nine days later. The mileage is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,354 miles per year. The accumulation has remained consistent over the last few years, rising from 56,207 miles in December 2022 to 74,963 miles by December 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of heavy commercial use or significant gaps in ownership. The absence of any advisories or failures across five years of testing is unusual for a vehicle of this age. No issues regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions have appeared in the record. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or very light duty cycles that have spared the chassis from typical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber perishables, such as tyre sidewalls and suspension bushings, can crack over fourteen years even with low use. Check for signs of brake caliper seizing or fluid degradation, as low-mileage cars often suffer from binding calipers due to inactivity. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion, as the MOT record provides no evidence of structural rust, but a manual check is necessary to confirm the integrity of the sills and floor pan.
