2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · CP64 BVV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean record despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection on 21 August 2025 at 143,322 miles passed with no recorded defects, following an unexplained failure just seven days prior at 143,318 miles. This sequence suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately before the re-test. Since the 2023 failure, the car has passed consecutive inspections without advisories, indicating a period of consistent mechanical stability. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. The record shows 13,109 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 4,754 miles covered between September 2024 and August 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing brake component corrosion compared to long periods of standing. The lack of significant gaps in mileage indicates a predictable usage pattern for the previous owners. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to the Ford Focus at this mileage. While the MOT history is clean, the high mileage necessitates checking the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of perished rubber or fatigue. Given the age, verifying the thickness of the brake discs and the condition of the calipers is essential, as 143,000 miles often marks the end of original component life. A close look of the underbody is required to ensure no hidden structural corrosion has begun to develop despite the clean MOT results.
