2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GL62 AEJ

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 August 2023 at 54,058 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2019, indicating a car that has been kept in a roadworthy state without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is very low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 3,861 miles per year. Between November 2019 and August 2023, the odometer increased from 44,360 to 54,058 miles. This gradual accumulation suggests light usage rather than erratic bursts of activity. However, the vehicle has not undergone a recorded MOT test since August 2023, leaving a gap of nearly three years relative to the current date of July 2026. A buyer must investigate why the vehicle has remained off the road or untested for the last 33 months. Long periods of standing often lead to perished tyre sidewalls, seized brake calipers, and degraded battery health. While the record shows no history of corrosion or suspension failure, the lack of recent data means the current state of the brake discs and fluid integrity is unknown. Focus the physical inspection on the chassis and suspension bushes to ensure no dormant rust has developed during the period of inactivity. Check for flat spots on the tyres and verify that the engine starts and idles smoothly after this extended hiatus. The absence of historical advisories is promising, but the current lack of a valid MOT is the primary risk factor.
