2012 Ford Focus Edge 1.6L Petrol · TUI 5582

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with eight recorded tests resulting in passes and no documented defects or advisories. This stable trend, concluding with the latest pass on 13 June 2025, demonstrates a history of meeting DVSA safety and emissions standards without the need for corrective repairs between tests. The total mileage of 87,156 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,225 miles, which is consistent with typical usage for a 2012 model. A significant gap in the MOT history exists between January 2020 and June 2022, meaning the vehicle was not officially inspected for over two years. Such gaps can lead to the degradation of perishable components or the development of corrosion that may not have been flagged during the subsequent 2022 test. Given the absence of recorded defects, the inspection should focus on verifying the current state of components that may have deteriorated during the 2020 to 2022 testing gap. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or cracking, and listen for any knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces during a test drive. Check for any binding in the brake calipers or a lack of pedal firmness, which can occur after periods of reduced use. A visual check for oil misting around the engine seals and an inspection of the exhaust system for surface corrosion are recommended to ensure the vehicle's physical condition aligns with the clean MOT record.
