2012 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LD62 LNF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent MOT test on 16 March 2023 at 92,210 miles recorded no defects, following two consecutive clean passes in 2022 and 2021. This suggests that the vehicle has moved past the period of more frequent consumable issues seen in its earlier years and is currently maintaining a consistent standard of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a 2012 vehicle. The car has covered 92,210 miles over approximately 14 years, averaging roughly 6,586 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, such as the 14,623-mile increase between the March 2022 test and the March 2023 test. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline or evidence of long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or perished rubber parts from standing still. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The 24 August 2015 test flagged imbalanced brakes that barely met the requirements, indicating a potential history of uneven wear or sticking calipers. While the recent records show no such issues, a thorough check of the brake discs and pads is warranted. The earlier records from 2015, 2016, and 2017 show frequent advisories regarding worn or damaged tyres, suggesting that previous owners may have been reactive rather than proactive with tyre replacement. Given the age of the vehicle, a close examination of the suspension bushes and underside corrosion is advisable, even though no structural defects have appeared in the recent MOT history. The transition from multiple tyre and brake advisories in the mid-2010s to a completely clean record since 2018 is a positive indicator of improved maintenance standards.
