2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EY12 UEL

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 19 December 2025 at 117,130 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that is mechanically sound. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 8,366 miles per year. Between 1 December 2023 and 19 December 2025, the odometer rose from 108,905 to 117,130 miles, showing a steady usage rate of approximately 4,100 miles per year over the last two years. This regularity indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The record shows a single failure on 8 December 2022 at 104,463 miles, though the vehicle passed four days later. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last four years is unusual for a fourteen year old Ford Focus. It implies the previous owner addressed wear items like brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes before they reached a critical state or became MOT failures. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, as surface rust on the sills and subframes often goes unmentioned until it becomes a structural failure. Check the condition of the coil springs and engine mounts, as these are common wear points for this model at 117,000 miles. Given the clean MOT history, the focus should be on verifying service intervals for the cambelt and water pump to ensure the drivetrain remains reliable.
