2014 FORD FOCUS1.0L Petrol

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 34,036 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2021, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in vehicles of this vintage. The mileage is remarkably low for a twelve year old car, averaging roughly 2,836 miles per year. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the vehicle covered 2,443 miles. A more significant jump occurred between August 2024 and August 2025, where the odometer rose from 27,763 to 34,036 miles. This indicates a recent increase in usage after several years of very light activity. While the lack of MOT advisories is positive, the low mileage and periods of inactivity raise specific concerns regarding rubber components and fluids. A buyer should personally inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, even if the tread depth is legal. Brake calipers and sliders should be checked for seizing or binding, as components often perish from disuse rather than wear. The absence of recorded corrosion or suspension wear in the DVSA data is promising, but the vehicle's age necessitates a physical check of the underbody and sills for surface rust. Given the low mileage, the engine oil and coolant should be verified for degradation. The record suggests a well-maintained vehicle, provided the low usage has not led to the deterioration of seals or auxiliary belts.
