2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · HK64 AEL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 98,364 miles, despite a nearside front service brake showing signs of binding and excess heat, which is an advisory issue. This nearside front brake problem has persisted since the previous test, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. However, the fact that the vehicle passed its test suggests that the issue may not be severe enough to render it unroadworthy. The mileage pattern for this 2014 Ford Focus is about average for its age, with approximately 8,197 miles per year accumulated over the past 12 years. There are no notable gaps in the mileage record, but it is worth noting that the vehicle's mileage increased by 5,791 miles in the 12-month period between the 2024 and 2025 tests, which is a relatively rapid accumulation. The mileage record is otherwise clean and consistent, with no significant jumps or anomalies. A buyer should inspect the nearside front brake in person to assess the extent of the binding and excess heat issue. They should also check the condition of the other tyres, as the nearside rear tyre tread depth was below requirements in the 2025 test, and the nearside front and offside front and rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit in the same test. Furthermore, the vehicle's history suggests that the suspension may be a potential area of concern, as the nearside and offside front coil springs were fractured or broken in the 2022 test. A thorough inspection of the suspension and steering components is recommended to ensure their structural integrity.
