2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · HY64 AAK

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 31 October 2025 at 66,972 miles which passed with no recorded defects. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes, the owner has consistently addressed identified issues to maintain compliance. The maintenance trend suggests a reactive approach rather than proactive care, as faults are only rectified once flagged by the tester rather than being sought out during interim servicing. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,581 miles per year. Between November 2023 and October 2024, the car covered only 1,917 miles, while the period between October 2024 and October 2025 saw 2,170 miles recorded. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle spends long periods stationary. Such a pattern can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and sidewalls, and potential brake caliper corrosion despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the specific mechanical reasons were not detailed in the summary, the recurring nature of these failures suggests issues with wear items or components requiring frequent adjustments. Given the low mileage and age, inspect the brake discs for pitting or corrosion and check the tyres for flat spotting or cracking from infrequent use. Additionally, examine the structural integrity of the rear sills and underbody to ensure that the age of the vehicle has not resulted in significant corrosion that the MOT tester has yet to flag.
