2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · MK14 ABZ

This Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 74,770 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the history shows two failures on 7 April 2023 and 16 April 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly during the test. The vehicle has covered 74,770 miles over twelve years, averaging roughly 6,231 miles per year. This is a typical usage pattern for a car of this age. Mileage accumulation has remained consistent, with 3,524 miles added between April 2023 and April 2024, and a further 3,534 miles added by April 2025. There are no erratic gaps or sudden spikes in usage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or excessive commercial use. The absence of advisories across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. Most cars from 2014 typically show some degree of wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or minor corrosion on the underside. Because the MOT record is exceptionally clean, a buyer should specifically check for signs of recent, undocumented repairs or evidence of professional detailing used to mask age-related wear. A physical inspection should focus on the chassis and wheel arches for surface rust, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed history of structural integrity. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads to ensure they have not been neglected, as the lack of advisories may simply indicate a lenient tester rather than a perfect mechanical state. Verify the service history to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements have occurred regardless of the clean MOT outcomes.
