2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WL62 KHT

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy following the October 3, 2025 test at 127,670 miles, where the MOT record confirms a pass with no defects recorded, indicating no immediate mechanical failure or critical safety issue was identified at that specific checkpoint. The mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of approximately 9,119 miles since the 2012 registration, with no significant gaps in testing history; the intervals between tests—such as the 12-month gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests and the 12-month gap between 2024 and 2025—align with standard annual MOT scheduling, suggesting regular maintenance intervals and no evidence of long-term neglect or sudden high-intensity use. The recurring failures in October 2023 and October 2025 at nearly identical mileages (112,436 and 127,670 miles respectively) indicate a persistent mechanical issue, likely related to suspension components such as bushes or coil springs, or potentially binding rear brakes, which may have been addressed or reset between tests; a buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension bushes, brake caliper movement, and exhaust system integrity for signs of corrosion or structural fatigue, particularly given the vehicle's age and high mileage, while also verifying the condition of the drivetrain and structural chassis points for any signs of fatigue or hidden corrosion not captured in the pass/fail record.
