2014 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · CP63 FFZ

The most recent MOT from December 2025 resulted in a pass, but only after the vehicle failed on several serious safety defects. The failure included fractured front coil springs and a significantly worn offside front brake disc, which indicates that critical components were nearing total failure at that time. The mechanical history shows a recurring pattern of neglected consumables. Tyres have been highlighted as an issue in three consecutive years, frequently being worn close to the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear. There is also a pattern of deferred braking maintenance, with thin pads and worn discs appearing in the recent records. The condition trend appears to be worsening. The vehicle has progressed from minor issues, such as a loose exhaust shield and headlight aim, to more serious structural failures like broken suspension springs. This suggests that maintenance is being reactive—only addressed when an MOT failure occurs—rather than proactive. At 105,577 miles, the vehicle has covered roughly 8,800 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This mileage suggests standard usage, but the recurring defects imply that the vehicle may have been driven on worn components for extended periods between tests.
