2012 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · MW12 TPO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its consistent MOT pass record. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2025 at 70,375 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained within tolerance levels over time. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between February 2022 and April 2025, the car covered 13,045 miles, which reflects infrequent or short-distance use. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or seizing of brake parts. The only recorded failure occurred in January 2024 at 67,666 miles due to minor lighting defects, which were rectified immediately. Since the history shows no mechanical failures beyond the offside stop lamp and rear position lamp, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection for surface corrosion on the brake discs and suspension mounts. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot or perished rubber bushings if they are not driven regularly. Focus on checking the condition of the tyres for cracking and the structural integrity of the underbody, as the MOT record does not detail any emerging advisories for rust that would require immediate attention.
