2014 FORD FOCUS1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. As of the October 2024 test at 143,286 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure entry on the same day which listed no specific faults. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the passing result. The vehicle has maintained a clean pass record without advisories for the last four testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. Between November 2021 and October 2024, the car covered 37,759 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive strain. The intervals between tests remain regular, indicating that the previous owners kept the vehicle legal for the road on a consistent schedule. While the record shows no recurring structural or mechanical failures, the high mileage of 143,000 miles necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should scrutinise the suspension for perished bushes on control arms and coil springs, as these often show degradation at this mileage. Given the lack of recorded advisories, the buyer should also check for binding calipers or thinning of the brake discs to ensure the clean history reflects the current state of the braking system.
