2014 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · AV64 CFJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection. The latest MOT test conducted on 25 June 2025 at 71,444 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just two days prior at 71,430 miles. This specific sequence suggests the previous failure was likely a minor or consumable-related issue that was rectified immediately, as the car has maintained a clean record for the last two annual cycles. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 10,500 miles between July 2023 and June 2024, and another 6,125 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025. This low usage typically indicates less wear on high-stress drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry that is not always captured by the MOT alone. While the digital record shows no recurring failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage age. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or perish, as these degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Given the age of the Focus, check the brake calipers for corrosion or binding and examine the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches to ensure that the low mileage has not masked hidden oxidation.
