2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FH12 AVM

The 2012 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 100,285 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the supplied history, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime across this period. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical expectations for a fourteen-year-old car. The record shows 69,505 miles at the 21 January 2022 test, rising to 75,774 by 2 February 2023, 81,421 on 3 February 2024, 90,442 on 12 February 2025, and 100,285 on 11 February 2026. That equates to roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles added each year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse in fault terms, listing only passes and no recorded wear items, so the history alone gives no evidence of neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. The MOT test does not strip components, and at 100,285 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will carry fourteen years of fatigue even if not yet flagging. Drivetrain mounts and subframe corrosion deserve close scrutiny given the vehicle's age and winter exposure. Check the exhaust emissions system and undertray condition in person, and confirm the recorded mileages match the cluster and service book. The absence of advisories suggests prior owners kept the car to test standard, but only a workshop ramp inspection will confirm there is no latent structural rust or binding calipers hidden from the annual test.
