2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · ST12 AAE

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The test on 13 June 2025 at 94,873 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets all DVSA safety and environmental requirements. The mileage is typical for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 6,777 miles per year. The distance covered between the June 2023 test at 91,484 miles and the June 2025 test at 94,873 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 3,389 miles per annum over the last two years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest hidden deterioration or misuse. The MOT history is unusually clean for a fourteen year old vehicle. While the car failed on 7 June 2023 and 10 June 2024, these failures were resolved immediately on the same or following day. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions over several years is uncommon for this age and mileage. A buyer should still perform a physical check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as MOT testers sometimes overlook minor surface rust that does not yet constitute a failure. Given the lack of recorded faults, focus should remain on checking the condition of consumables like tyre tread and wiper blades, which are often replaced between tests without being noted in the official record.
