2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EJ12 ACZ

The Ford Focus shows a currently roadworthy status following the most recent MOT on 9 April 2025, where the tester recorded a pass at 145,843 miles with no defects cited. Maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, as the vehicle passed every examination from 26 April 2022 through 9 April 2025 without advisories. The DVSA log also lists a failure on that same date at identical mileage with no defects recorded, an irregularity suggesting an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 2012 registration. The record traces 125,743 miles on 26 April 2022, rising to 133,347 by 5 May 2023, then 139,634 on 23 April 2024, and 145,843 on 9 April 2025. Annual increments of roughly 6,200 to 7,600 miles sit below the implied 10,400-mile yearly average, indicating gentle recent commuting. Tests occur at near-annual intervals with no gaps, and the clean slip of advisories implies previous keepers maintained test compliance, though absence of flagged consumable wear on a 145,000-mile car warrants scrutiny of tester rigour. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and track rod ends, as these components accumulate fatigue invisible to a fault-free MOT on an aged hatchback. Brake discs and calipers demand measurement for run-out and binding despite no historical advisories. Structural areas such as the rear sill, subframe mounts, and suspension turrets require probing for corrosion that MOT checks may miss until critical. Confirm the dual 2025 test entries with DVSA to rule out undocumented rectification before purchase.
