It failed its MOT on 1 July 2025 (nearside headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect) and passed later the same day.

Advisories at the latest test: nearside rear direction indicator slightly discoloured; rear registration plate deteriorated but not likely to be misread.

Mileage at that test: 55,867 miles, which matches the advertised 58,582 miles.

Advertised mileage is about 22,600 miles lower than the median mileage of a 2012 Ford Focus on AskCar.
