2012 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LS62 PHO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 30 January 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the initial failure on that same day indicates a lapse in basic pre-test inspections. The tester flagged both nearside and offside front position lamps along with thin nearside front brake pads, which were rectified to achieve the pass. Prior to this event, the vehicle maintained a clean test record for the previous three years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,255 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-level usage, moving from 39,193 miles in December 2023 to 45,570 miles in January 2026. This slow rate of accumulation suggests the car was used infrequently, which means the engine and drivetrain have seen minimal mechanical wear. However, such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and tyres, which can perish due to age rather rather than mechanical stress. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the thin pads identified in January 2026 were replaced with quality components and that the calipers are not seizing. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and rotors which often occurs when vehicles sit for extended periods. Additionally, inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody for for rust, as high-age Ford vehicles are prone to oxidation regardless of the distance driven.
