2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · KY14 AEZ

The vehicle's current roadworthiness appears stable following the most recent MOT pass on 30 April 2025. The inspection history shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes within a very narrow mileage window. Specifically, the car failed on 30 April 2025 at 114,166 miles only to pass at 114,168 miles, and a similar occurrence happened on 28 February 2024 when it failed at 104,192 miles before passing at 104,199 miles. This suggests minor, easily rectifiable issues such as blown bulbs or worn wiper blades are being addressed promptly to meet minimum standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 95,441 miles in February 2023 to 114,168 miles in April 2025. This consistent usage pattern indicates the vehicle has likely been driven regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which helps prevent seal degradation and fuel degradation. While the MOT record is clean of structural or mechanical advisories, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system. Given the age and mileage, I recommend checking the condition of the coil springs, shock absorbers, and suspension bushes for signs of perished rubber or excessive play. The lack of recorded advisories for corrosion or brake binding is positive, but a manual check of the underside for structural rust and the thickness of the brake discs remains necessary.
