2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · CS13 EAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 at 102,339 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of mechanical defects, as the record shows no specific faults or advisories across the last two years. However, the testing pattern in early 2026 is highly irregular, with three failures and one pass recorded between 27 February and 9 March 2026. The absence of recorded defects for these failures is atypical and suggests administrative errors or issues not captured in the summary data. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car. It covered 2,527 miles between the February 2025 test at 99,812 miles and the March 2026 pass at 102,339 miles. This average annual usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which typically helps prevent seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. A physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a twelve year old Ford Focus, regardless of the clean MOT record. The buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue. Given the mileage has surpassed 100,000, the state of the brake discs and pads requires verification to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. The lack of recorded advisories is positive, but the cluster of failures in early 2026 warrants a query to the seller. A technician should verify the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for corrosion, as these areas can sometimes be overlooked if a vehicle passes on basic functional tests. Checking the exhaust system for leaks or significant rust will complete a thorough mechanical assessment.
