2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FP 5434

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test in August 2025 at 104,559 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This sequence suggests the owner addressed a specific mechanical issue immediately to ensure compliance, and the car has since maintained a clean record without any advisories or failures through to the latest test date. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 94,059 miles and August 2025 at 104,559 miles, the car covered 10,500 miles, showing a steady rate of accumulation. This regularity indicates the vehicle has been subjected to regular use rather than long periods of standing, which can often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry despite relatively low odometer readings. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion, a buyer should still focus a physical inspection on common wear points for a Focus of this era. Inspect the front suspension for worn bushes and leaking shock absorbers, as these often degrade around the 100,000-mile mark. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning that might not yet trigger a failure. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but verifying the condition of the underbody for surface rust remains necessary to ensure no hidden structural issues are developing.
