2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · AF64 DTK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. In the latest test on 11 September 2025 at 102,084 miles, the car passed after initially failing due to a distorted offside front road wheel and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the recurring nature of failures suggests that faults are often only addressed when necessitated by the annual inspection. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's twelve-year age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. The records show a steady progression of roughly 6,600 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 6,500 miles covered between September 2024 and September 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which typically helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals despite the relatively low annual mileage. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as worn suspension arm pins and bushes were flagged as advisories in both 2023 and 2024. The 2024 test specifically noted edge wear on both front inner tyres, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn control arms that requires professional attention. The buyer should also verify the offside front artwork to ensure the slight distortion noted in 2025 does not cause vibration at motorway speeds and confirm that the tyre pressure monitoring system is fully functional following its previous failure.
