2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MJ61 UTU

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 1 October 2025 at 132,725 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,480 miles per year. The distance covered between the October 2023 test at 112,015 miles and the October 2025 test at 132,725 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 10,355 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no advisories for common Ford Focus issues such as suspension bush wear, coil spring fractures, or brake disc corrosion. While the 2023 and 2024 tests show initial failures on the same day as the passes, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook early surface rust that does not yet compromise safety. Given the mileage exceeds 130,000, checking the condition of the drivetrain mounts and the smoothness of the gear changes is advisable to ensure long-term reliability.
