2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BN63 ABO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT on May 2, 2025. This latest test at 102,539 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While the history shows immediate failures preceding these passes in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes suggest that issues were rectified promptly rather than representing a systemic decline in mechanical condition. The mileage profile reflects a consistent usage pattern, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year which aligns with typical expectations for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between the April 2023 test at 90,270 miles and the May 2024 test at 97,468 miles, the car covered 7,198 miles. A further 5,171 miles were clocked before the May 2025 test. This regularity suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stationary, which generally helps prevent moisture-related issues such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. Despite the clean pass on the most recent test, the pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in 2024 and 2025 indicates that items are frequently reaching the end of their limit. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically the bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on this Focus generation. Given the age and mileage, checking for structural corrosion on the rear sills and exhaust mounting points is essential to ensure that no hidden integrity issues are developing that have not yet triggered an MOT failure.
