2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MK64 ADX

The 2026-03-13 MOT at 74,001 miles passed with no defects, confirming the Ford Focus remains roadworthy and the maintenance record is stable, showing no worsening or improving trend across successive tests. The mileage trajectory reflects typical use for a 12‑year‑old vehicle: the odometer rose from 50,513 miles in October 2022 to 74,001 miles in March 2026, an increase of 23,488 miles over 45 months, averaging just over 5,200 miles per year, which aligns with the expected 6,167 miles per year for its age. No significant gaps appear in the log, and the 2022-10-06 failure was a retest with identical mileage and no recorded defects. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the rear brakes for binding calipers and uneven pad wear, and examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion. Check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, verify tyre tread depth and condition, and look for any exhaust leaks or excessive corrosion that could affect emissions or structural integrity. Given the clean MOT history and steady mileage accumulation, the vehicle appears to have been cared for, but a thorough physical inspection of these mechanical components remains essential before purchase.
