2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · C25 YAT

The 2026‑04‑20 MOT at 92,984 miles passed without defect, confirming current roadworthiness. The record shows a stable maintenance trend after the 2019 failure was corrected, with no new serious mechanical failures reported in the three most recent tests. Mileage has risen from 54,328 miles in March 2019 to 92,984 miles in April 2026, an increase of 38,656 miles over seven years, averaging about 5,500 miles per year. Accelerated accumulation is evident between 2021 and 2022, when mileage jumped from 62,678 to 67,574 miles, and again from 2022 to 2023, rising from 67,574 to 74,165 miles. Recurring issues include tyre perishing noted in 2020, 2024 and 2025, indicating infrequent tyre replacement; suspension arm ball joint play recorded in 2025 suggests wear in the near‑side front suspension that should be inspected for play in bushes and joints. Repeated brake disc pitting and pad thinning from 2023 onward point to ongoing brake wear that requires measurement of disc thickness and pad depth. Deteriorated constant‑velocity joint boots appear in 2020, 2023 and 2025, signalling repeated exposure to contaminants and the need to check for joint play or grease leakage. A buyer should therefore examine the front suspension components, verify tyre condition and replace any perishing rubber, measure brake disc and pad thickness, and inspect CV joints for play or grease leakage, while also looking for any hidden structural rust that may accompany the age of the vehicle.
