2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BF14 KLD

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 21 April 2026 at 82,850 miles, with only an advisory note for the off‑side rear tyre showing slight damage/cracking. Looking back, the record shows a clear shift from repeated failures in 2018‑2023 to three consecutive passes since April 2024, indicating an improving maintenance trend rather than a stable or worsening one. At twelve years old the odometer reads 82,850 miles, which works out to roughly 6,900 miles per year – a figure that aligns with typical private use. The test dates are spaced almost exactly twelve months apart, with no missing years or sudden jumps in mileage, suggesting steady, regular use rather than long periods of storage or excessive high‑mileage driving. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the tyre condition, especially the off‑side rear tyre which has been flagged for cracking in the last two tests and showed edge wear repeatedly earlier. The history also records a fractured off‑side front coil spring in 2021, a leaking near‑side rear shock absorber in 2020, and repeated advisories on low brake pads and lipped discs in 2017, so the suspension, braking and damping components merit a thorough visual and tactile check. Finally, the recurring notes on body and wheel damage, wiper performance, coolant level and headlamp aim suggest a general walk‑around inspection of lights, fluids and exterior panels is warranted.
