2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · AF64 LVS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on October 19, 2023 at 47,304 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just two days prior at 47,253 miles, though the record indicates no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a minor or administrative issue that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between October 2020 and October 2023, the car covered 21,543 miles, indicating consistent but light-intensity usage. This low mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts such as seals, hoses, and bushings which can dry out over time when a vehicle sits for long periods. Given the clean history and the lack of recurring structural corrosion or mechanical failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to perishation despite low mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking or perished rubber, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized suspension components. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to rust accumulation. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as tread depth often remains the legal limit on low-mileage cars.
