2014 FORD FOCUS1.6L Petrol

The 2014 Ford Focus exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-28 at 87,072 miles recording a PASS and no defects. The prior three tests from 2025-01-14 to 2023-03-27 also showed PASS results with no recorded issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2024-02-03 at 69,755 miles is noted, though no defects were listed, which may suggest a technical error or unrelated procedural issue. Overall, the vehicle shows no signs of deteriorating mechanical or structural integrity based on the MOT history. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,256 miles annually. The records show regular testing intervals, with the longest gap between 2023-03-27 (61,671 miles) and 2024-02-05 (69,759 miles) spanning 11 months, during which mileage increased by 8,088 miles. A peculiar anomaly occurs between 2024-02-03 (69,755 miles) and 2024-02-05 (69,759 miles), where only four miles were recorded in two days, likely a data entry error. The absence of recurring defects or advisories suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the failed test without explanation warrants cautious scrutiny. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the car’s age and mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for wear, as even minor issues can escalate over time. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion are critical areas to assess, as older vehicles often develop rust in these zones. While the MOT records show no immediate concerns, the failed test and lack of defect details mean a professional mechanical survey is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the recorded data.
