2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FP62 HBD

The 2012 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 June 2025 at 65,592 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from April 2022 through April 2024 also show clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-entry record, so the vehicle has held a consistent compliance status across the last three years. Recorded mileage sits at 65,592 against an April 2012 registration, averaging roughly 4,685 miles per year. The car covered only 4,167 miles between the April 2022 test at 55,483 miles and the April 2024 test at 61,425 miles, then 4,167 miles again to the June 2025 figure. That low annual use points to light running rather than hard fleet or commute cycling. The single gap worth noting is the 14-month span between April 2024 and June 2025, a slightly late renewal but with no failure resulting. The April 2023 entry shows a failed test immediately followed by a pass on the same day at 57,777 miles, with no defects listed on either. This suggests an administrative or tester-input error rather than a genuine mechanical rejection, and the owner corrected it without recorded work. Given the clean history, previous keepers appear to have kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. A buyer should still verify in person what static records cannot show. Low mileage over long standing periods can hide perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, or surface corrosion on structural underbody points despite a clear MOT. Inspect brake discs for rust binding, check exhaust emissions under cold start, and confirm the coil springs and subframe show no undocumented fatigue before purchase.
