2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MK64 ADV

The 2026‑06‑29 MOT at 39,743 miles passed without any defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. Since the 2025‑06‑24 test at 36,558 miles also passed without defects, the vehicle has shown consistent compliance over the past year. Mileage increments of roughly 2,500 to 3,500 miles per year suggest light usage for a 12‑year‑old car, and the dense testing schedule — one inspection each July since 2017 with a brief dual test on 2022‑07‑01 — reveals no extended periods without official assessment. Recurring tyre perishing and edge wear (5.2.3 (d) (ii) and 5.2.3 (e)) appear in 2021, 2023 and 2024, indicating that tyre replacement has been deferred despite passing criteria. Front brake pad wear (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) in 2023 points to brake component fatigue that should be examined for disc condition and caliper binding, while the absence of explicit suspension defects does not guarantee the absence of worn bushes or coil springs. A buyer should therefore inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify brake disc thickness and caliper operation, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for play or corrosion, check for structural rust on the chassis and exhaust system, and confirm headlamp aim as per the 2022 failure.
