Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a high-mileage driver, provided you are comfortable with its intensive usage. The recent clean MOT history is a positive indicator, though the high mileage requires careful inspection.
Given the mileage is substantially higher than the model average, your primary focus should be on the service history. While the MOT records show no defects, an MOT is not a substitute for regular maintenance; you must verify that oil changes and major component inspections have been performed regularly to support the 1.0L EcoBoost engine.
When negotiating, use the high mileage to your advantage. Check the condition of the clutch and brakes, as these are wear items that often require attention around the 100,000-mile mark. Ensure all electronic components and the turbocharger function correctly, as these are critical for this specific engine variant.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger displacement models. This makes it a cost-effective choice for urban commuting.
Expect typical maintenance costs for a Ford of this age, though be mindful that high-mileage vehicles may soon require more frequent replacements of suspension components or cooling system parts. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, sits in the mid-range for a small hatchback.
Pay close attention to the tyres and headlamps during your inspection, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model across the wider dataset. Even though this specific vehicle passed its 2025 MOT without defects, these items are common points of failure.
Additionally, inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, another common issue noted in the aggregate data for Ford Focus models. Check the underside of the car and the wheel arches for any bubbling or structural decay. Finally, because of the high mileage, listen for any unusual engine noise or vibrations that could indicate wear in the drivetrain.
This 2014 black Ford Focus features a small 998cc petrol engine and has covered 114,419 miles as of its last MOT in June 2025. While the vehicle has seen significantly higher usage than the model average of 6,879 miles per year, its recent MOT record shows no recorded defects across the last four annual tests. This suggests a history of passing inspections without immediate mechanical failures being flagged by the tester.
The Ford Focus shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.0% across the analysed fleet, with common failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and corrosion.
