FORD FOCUS2014 · 1.6L Diesel

The 2014 Ford Focus with 118,316 miles shows a recent MOT pass on 2026-02-23, but a prior failure on 2026-02-16 at nearly identical mileage (118,315 vs. 118,316). This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue resolved between tests. No defects were recorded in either case, indicating the vehicle met basic roadworthiness standards at the time of assessment. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring faults flagged in the MOT history, though the abrupt failure and subsequent pass raise questions about the testing process. The vehicle’s mileage of 118,316 miles over 12 years aligns with an average of 9,860 miles annually, a typical figure for its age. MOT records show consistent annual testing from 2023 to 2026, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes. The 2025-02-17 pass at 102,584 miles and 2024-01-29 pass at 95,856 miles indicate steady usage without abrupt changes. However, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into wear patterns, particularly for components like suspension bushes or brake discs, which may degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, focusing on coil springs and bushings, as these often show wear in older vehicles. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, especially if the 2026 failure involved braking components. Structural integrity should also be checked for rust, particularly in areas prone to corrosion. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the absence of defect details means a physical assessment is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
