2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · SH12 YRF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection in November 2025 at 95,536 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a successful pass in November 2024, suggesting that the previous owner has maintained the vehicle well enough to clear the annual test without recurring mechanical failures or structural advisories. At 95,536 miles, the Focus has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 4,600 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2024, and another 4,465 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. The brief failure on November 13, 2024, followed by a pass just two days later, suggests a minor consumable issue such as a blown bulb or a minor adjustment, that was rectified immediately rather than indicating a deeper mechanical neglect. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, a buyer should still inspect the vehicle for common Focus wear points at this age and mileage. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often perish over a decade regardless of low mileage. Given the age of the car, check for surface corrosion on the sills and rear arches, and verify the condition of the brake discs for pitting, as the MOT does not test for the thickness of these components unless they affect braking performance.
