2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AE64 PMV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 23 August 2025 at 72,266 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just two days prior at 72,261 miles, though the lack of recorded defects on that failure suggests either an administrative error or a non-mechanical issue that was immediately rectified before the re-test without indicating underlying mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between September 2022 at 53,394 miles and August 2025 at 72,266 miles, the car covered 18,872 miles at a steady rate. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, which typically preserves the drivetrain and suspension components. The low total mileage relative to the twelve-year-old frame indicates that rubber components and seals may suffer from age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. While the MOT record is clean of recurring advisories or faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas prone to age-related decline. Low mileage cars often suffer from seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and cracked hoses due to infrequent use. Inspect the rear arches and sills for corrosion and check the coil springs for play, as these are common failure points on this model. Given the lack of historical structural rust advisories, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, provided the service history matches the clean MOT intervals.
