2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BD64 ACO

The vehicle appears to be in a stable roadworthiness condition following its most recent test on 10 February 2026 at 78,117 miles. While the record shows two instances of failure immediately preceding a pass, the lack of recorded defects in the 2026 MOT suggests that the issues identified during those failed inspections were rectified. The absence of any advisories in the most recent entry indicates that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standard for road use without immediate mechanical concerns flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,510 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 48,575 miles in February 2024 to 78,117 miles in February 2026. This represents a consistent usage pattern rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage surges. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows an increase of roughly 15,000 miles, which is a typical annual distance for a private owner. Because the MOT history does not specify the exact nature of the failures in February 2025 and February 2026, a physical inspection is necessary to confirm the quality of previous repairs. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, as well as the brake discs and calipers for signs of uneven wear or binding. Given the vehicle's age, checking the underside for structural corrosion and inspecting the exhaust system for leaks or excessive degradation is also prudent. The lack of recorded advisories is a positive indicator, but the recurring failures suggest the vehicle may have been sensitive to minor consumable issues or specific component wear during those testing periods. Verifying the service history alongside these MOT results will confirm if the repairs were carried out to a professional standard. Focus on the condition of the tyres and wiper blades during a viewing to ensure the vehicle has been maintained beyond the bare minimum requirements of the MOT test.
