2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AF64 ACZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 63,256 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite a technical failure just one mile prior on the same day. This specific failure likely represents a clerical error or a minor sensor-related issue that was immediately rectified before the re-test, indicating a level of proactive attention to MOT standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,271 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 9,708 miles, showing a consistent and modest usage rate. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking components, the long intervals between periods of use can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry. The lack of high-mileage spikes in the recorded history suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway stress. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age rather than mileage-related wear. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perishability, which occurs when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or uneven pitting, as low-use cars often suffer from rust that can bind calipers. The structural integrity of the chassis and sills should be verified visually, though the record shows no history of significant corrosion-related structural failures.
