2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MT61 ACX

The 2012 Ford Focus currently holds a fully roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the 26 January 2026 MOT at 38,327 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Every annual test from 24 January 2022 through to the latest examination returned a clean pass. The DVSA history shows zero advisories on brakes, suspension, corrosion or emissions across the five-year window. In the 24 January 2022 test at 29,455 miles the odometer reflected light use for a decade-old hatchback. The 25 January 2023 check at 31,554 miles showed a 2,099-mile yearly gain. Subsequent readings of 33,617 miles on 16 January 2024, 36,156 miles on 22 January 2025, and 38,327 miles on 26 January 2026 trace a consistent shallow climb near 2,200 miles per annum. This restrained accumulation signals infrequent operation or prolonged static periods rather than neglected testing, as previous keepers met each deadline. Absence of flagged faults does not remove the need for physical scrutiny of age-sensitive components. The buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing rubber, and examine brake discs and calipers for binding after low-mileage storage. Subframe and sills warrant close checking for structural rust despite the clean test bay result. Verify tyre sidewall condition and brake fluid hygroscopy before purchase, as static wear escapes MOT measurement.
