2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · DO10 YLE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest MOT data. The most recent test conducted on January 15 2026 at 77,302 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While there was a recorded failure on January 21, 2025, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the identified faults promptly without allowing them to develop into a recurring mechanical trend. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 62,677 miles and January 2026 at 77,302 miles, the car covered roughly 14,600 miles, showing consistent but low-intensity usage. This low mileage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to higher mileage counterparts, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber seals and brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than just mileage. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, specifically around the rear-mounted suspension bushes and subframe, which are common failure points on this generation of Focus. Given the low usage, check the brake discs for pitting or surface rust and calipers for binding, as these occur when vehicles are not driven frequently. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres for signs of dry rot, as tread depth may remain sufficient despite the chronological age of the rubber.
