2012 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YC62 SGO

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 20 November 2025 at 28,196 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite a failure entry on the same day showing no specific faults. This anomaly suggests an administrative error or a minor presentation issue was rectified immediately, as the subsequent clearance indicates consistent mechanical health. The usage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,014 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 7,196 miles, maintaining a consistent usage rate of roughly 2,400 miles per year. This low mileage typically implies less wear on high-friction drivetrain components, engine internals, and brake pads. However, long periods of stationary use often lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which are not always captured by mileage-based metrics. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by time rather than just high mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for corrosion, as these parts can perish even if rarely driven. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting or scoring, which frequently occurs when vehicles sit idle for extended periods. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres and wiper blades, as rubber hardens over a decade regardless of the remaining tread depth.
