2012 Ford Focus ST-2 Turbo 2.0L Petrol · HA09 CHR

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-09-06 MOT at 94,130 miles. All prior tests from 2019 to 2024 also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring mechanical or structural faults were flagged across the 13-year history, suggesting the owner prioritized regular servicing. The absence of advisories or failures implies the car has been well-maintained within acceptable parameters for its age and mileage. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,724 miles annually. A notable gap exists between the 2019-11-13 test (58,082 miles) and 2022-07-02 test (71,524 miles), spanning 2.7 years with 13,442 miles added. This suggests periods of reduced use or potential storage, which could affect components like suspension bushes or brake discs if not periodically exercised. Subsequent tests show steady accumulation, with 10,000 miles added between 2024 and 2025, consistent with average annual figures. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for worn coil springs or bushings, as these can degrade without MOT detection. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Corrosion in underbody areas, especially around the exhaust system, warrants scrutiny, as moisture exposure over 14 years may compromise structural integrity. While the MOT record shows no immediate concerns, these components are critical for long-term reliability and safety.
