2014 FORD FOCUS1.6L Diesel

The 2014 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 6 August 2025 at 80,661 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The August 2025 test passed cleanly with no defects logged, though the prior day's test on 5 August 2025 at the same mileage recorded a failure with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. This pattern repeats from July 2024, where a failure on 29 July 2024 at 63,414 miles was followed by a pass on 6 August 2024 at 63,438 miles, again with no defects recorded. The mileage progression shows light to average use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record jumps from 60,891 miles at the January 2024 pass to 63,414 miles by late July 2024, then to 80,661 miles by August 2025, equating to roughly 6,700 miles per year overall. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear in the data. The DVSA entries are sparse and entirely clean of advisories, which limits diagnostic insight into wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record flags none yet offers no evidence of scrutiny in those areas. The repeated same-mileage fail-pass pairs at two different garages warrant verification that no suppressed advisory or mechanical defect was simply cleared without rectification. Given the age, examine coil springs, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions in person before purchase.
