2014 FORD FOCUS1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent string of pass certificates. The most recent test conducted on 05 December 2025 at 97,913 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This trajectory indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard over the last four years, with no recurring mechanical failures or persistent component degradation noted in the official DVSA records. The recorded mileage of 97,913 miles over a 12-year lifespan averages approximately 8,159 miles per annum, which sits well within the expected range for a vehicle of this type. The progression of mileage is steady and logical, showing no signs of long-term storage or anomalous usage patterns. The gap between the October 2023 test at 86,472 miles and the December 2024 test at 95,388 miles suggests a period of regular, moderate use, which is generally preferable for engine health and the prevention of seized mechanical components. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these items often escape notice during automated testing if they are not yet at the failure threshold. Given the age of the Ford Focus, verify the condition of the subframe for signs of surface corrosion and check the integrity of the exhaust system mounts. Since the MOT record lacks any history of advisories, the primary focus should be on verifying the service history for timing belt replacement intervals and fluid changes, which fall outside the scope of the MOT test but remain critical for the long-term reliability of this powertrain.
