2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FJ64 AEE

The 2014 Ford Focus exhibits a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-11 at 106,640 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, the vehicle has shown inconsistent testing outcomes, including two consecutive failures in 2025 and 2024 at similar mileages with no recorded defects. This pattern suggests potential issues with compliance or administrative errors, though the latest test confirms functional compliance. No critical mechanical or structural faults are documented in the most recent record, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy. Mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage, averaging 8,887 miles per year since 2014. The 2023-12-05 test at 98,385 miles showed a pass, followed by a 4,223-mile increase to 102,608 miles by 2024-12-10, with two failures recorded on the same day. This abrupt mileage jump without intervening tests raises questions about maintenance continuity. The 2025-12-11 pass at 106,640 miles, 4,032 miles later, suggests possible remedial work, but no defect details are available to confirm this. The sparse data limits definitive conclusions about long-term wear trends. A buyer should verify the resolution of prior failures through service records, focusing on suspension components, brake systems, and exhaust emissions, as these are common areas for recurring issues. Inspect for corrosion around the chassis and wheel arches, particularly if the vehicle was exposed to harsh conditions. Check brake discs for warping and suspension bushes for wear, as these can degrade without immediate visible defects. The absence of recorded structural faults is reassuring, but the lack of detailed MOT notes on earlier failures warrants further mechanical scrutiny before purchase.
