2014 FORD FOCUS1.6L Diesel

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available records, though the MOT history is severely outdated. The last recorded pass occurred on 2 September 2022 at 88,523 miles. Given today's date of 22 July 2026, the car has been without a valid MOT for nearly four years. This gap makes it impossible to determine the current roadworthiness or whether the vehicle has suffered from deterioration due to prolonged standing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical 12 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,377 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 76,550 miles in March 2021 to 88,523 miles by September 2022. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or erratic usage patterns during the period the vehicle was being tested. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no recorded defects or advisories across five entries. The failures on 1 March 2022 and 1 September 2022 were resolved immediately, though the lack of specific defect data in the record is atypical. This absence of flagged issues suggests a well-maintained car up until 2022, but it provides no insight into the current state of the chassis or drivetrain. A buyer must prioritise a comprehensive physical inspection of the structural integrity and rubber components. Long periods of inactivity often lead to seized brake calipers, perished tyres, and degraded suspension bushes. Check for corrosion on the sills and subframes, and verify the condition of the battery and fluids, as these are the primary risks for a vehicle that has not seen a testing station since 2022.
