AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2012 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 April 2026 at 82,293 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 5 April 2025 at 77,635 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories or faults. Recorded mileage sits at 82,293 against an April 2026 test, equating to roughly 5,878 miles per year over the car's fourteen-year life. The MOT trail shows light, consistent use: 73,127 miles in March 2023, 75,866 in April 2024, 77,631 at the failed March 2025 attempt, then 77,635 days later when it passed. A four-year gap exists before the 2023 entry, so early-life history is absent from this record. The failed 28 March 2025 test at 77,631 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or equipment-based rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the owner securing a pass one week later. No advisories appear across any supplied test, so the record gives no signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. Low annual mileage and a clean sheet suggest the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though standing time between short trips can hide perished rubber and flat-spotted tyres. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, brake disc condition, and suspension arm bushes given the car's age. The absent pre-2023 history means early wear cannot be ruled out, and the brief 2025 failure warrants confirmation that no suppressed fault existed at that point.
