2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · PN14 AEJ

The 2014 Ford Focus demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-23 at 79,227 miles recording no defects. All prior tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failed test on 2023-10-30 at 61,259 miles was recorded, though no defects were noted, suggesting a procedural or minor technicality. The absence of recurring mechanical faults over 12 years implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no visible trends of deterioration in critical systems. Mileage progression aligns with average usage, averaging 6,602 miles annually. The gap between the 2023-10-30 failure and the subsequent 2023-10-31 test at 61,261 miles is minimal (2 miles), likely a data entry anomaly. Subsequent tests show gradual accumulation, with 62,945 miles by 2024-02-06 and 70,907 miles by 2025-01-24. This pattern suggests regular use without prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of corrosion or component degradation. The MOT history lacks gaps exceeding 12 months, reinforcing a disciplined maintenance schedule. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly rear bushes and coil springs, which may show wear over 12 years. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop without immediate MOT failures. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity are not flagged in the record, but a physical check for rust on underbody panels or chassis seams is advisable, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to coastal or salty environments. The absence of advisories in the MOTs supports functional reliability, but a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the condition of these elements.
