2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BU64 TYB

The latest MOT on 4 September 2025 at 57,746 miles recorded a pass after the rear stop lamp and front tyre wear were remedied; the test flagged a rear stop lamp failure and front tyre tread close to the legal limit, both cleared before the re‑test. Consequently the vehicle is currently roadworthy, and the pattern of defects shows a stable trend, with no new structural or safety‑critical issues emerging in the most recent assessment. Mileage has risen from 15,421 miles in August 2017 to 57,746 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 4,800 miles per year. The incremental increases of 5,000–6,000 miles between annual tests suggest light, consistent use rather than periods of intensive mileage or long storage. No abrupt spikes appear in the record, indicating a relatively gentle wear profile for a twelve‑year‑old vehicle. Repeated tyre wear near the legal limit appears across several tests (2023‑08‑31, 2025‑09‑04) and should be inspected for uniform depth, sidewall condition, and any signs of uneven wear that might point to suspension misalignment or worn bushes. The front brake pads were noted as thin in 2019, and the front brake disc was flagged in 2025; a buyer ought to verify pad and disc thickness, check for any pulsation or noise, and confirm that the calipers operate freely. The rear stop lamp defect recorded in 2021 and again in 2025 warrants a functional test of all rear lighting circuits. Finally, a visual examination for corrosion on the chassis, suspension components, and exhaust system will confirm that no hidden structural deterioration has developed despite the otherwise clean MOT history.
