2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AV63 DJD

This 2014 Ford Focus maintains an excellent roadworthiness record, characterized by a stable and clean history over the last four years. The most recent MOT conducted on 28 May 2025 at 86,899 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle has been kept in a high state of mechanical readiness. The absence of advisories across the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests indicates that previous owners have proactively addressed maintenance requirements, preventing minor wear from escalating into failure points. The vehicle has covered 86,899 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, averaging approximately 7,242 miles per annum. This steady accumulation suggests consistent, moderate usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty service. The mileage progression between the 2022 test at 74,120 miles and the 2025 test at 86,899 miles shows a predictable and healthy rate of use. There are no concerning gaps in the testing cycle, which provides confidence that the vehicle has remained in regular operation and under consistent oversight. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for a physical inspection should shift toward components that often escape notice during standard testing. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of perishing or fluid leaks, as these items are prone to natural degradation at this age despite passing annual inspections. Check the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion or uneven wear patterns, as the lack of recorded advisories suggests these consumables may be reaching the end of their service life. Verify the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for any hidden corrosion, ensuring that the vehicle's clean bill of health is matched by a solid, rust-free undercarriage.
