2012 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · MM52 ALY

The vehicle demonstrates an exceptional maintenance trend, achieving five consecutive clean passes with no recorded defects or advisories between March 2021 and September 2025. This consistent record indicates that the car has been managed with high standards of preventative care, as the most recent test at 88,859 miles confirms the vehicle remains in a stable and roadworthy condition. The absence of even minor consumable failures over this four-year period suggests a proactive approach to servicing rather than reactive repairs. The recorded mileage of 88,859 miles over a fourteen-year lifespan averages approximately 6,347 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The progression of mileage is steady and linear, showing no evidence of long-term storage or erratic usage spikes. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests reflects a standard annual cycle, confirming that the vehicle has seen regular, consistent operation rather than prolonged periods of inactivity that often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components frequently succumb to age-related degradation on the Ford Focus platform despite clean MOT results. While the history is exemplary, the current owner may have replaced consumables immediately prior to testing, so a visual check of the brake discs for scoring and the tyres for uneven wear remains prudent. The structural integrity appears sound based on the lack of corrosion advisories, yet a thorough check of the sills and subframe is still advised to ensure no hidden oxidation exists beneath the chassis sealant.
