Our Verdict

This 2014 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi shows a stable, largely compliant MOT history in recent years, though its low annual mileage between 2020 and 2025 warrants a careful check for diesel particulate filter health. It represents a practical, economical hatchback purchase provided the service record supports the recent gentle usage.

When inspecting this Focus, pay close attention to the service history to verify how regularly the oil and filters have been changed, particularly given the low mileage recorded between July 2020 (87,553 miles) and October 2025 (93,129 miles). Short urban trips can clog diesel particulate filters (DPFs) on the 1.6-litre diesel engine, so ask the seller for proof of longer motorway runs or a professional DPF health check. Negotiate on price if consumable items like tyres or brakes show signs of ageing rather than wear, as cars sitting around can suffer from perished rubber.

The 1.6-litre diesel engine in this Ford Focus is renowned for strong fuel economy, capable of returning well over 60 mpg on longer motorway journeys, making it a cost-effective commuter. Road tax should fall into a very affordable band depending on its exact CO2 emissions, and insurance is typically reasonable sitting in an accessible insurance group for UK drivers. Typical annual maintenance costs are modest due to widespread parts availability, bringing the estimated annual running cost to around £1,100-£1,300 including fuel, insurance, tax, and servicing.

Examine the brake discs and pads carefully during your physical inspection; historical MOT records show the car has previously required attention for worn rear pads falling below 1.5mm and thin front pads in 2017 and 2018. Check all four tyres for even tread depth and look out for any sidewall cracking, keeping in mind that previous MOT advisories frequently flagged tyres with embedded nails or edge wear. Finally, verify that all dashboard warning lights function correctly, paying specific attention to the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) which was previously flagged as faulty during the 2018 test.

First registered in September 2014, this grey Ford Focus diesel has covered 93,129 miles by its October 2025 MOT test. The vehicle has achieved straight passes since 2019, contrasting with a couple of earlier failures in 2017 and 2018 primarily driven by worn brake pads and minor tyre issues. Notably, the car has accumulated less than 6,000 miles over the last five years, indicating it may have spent extended periods parked up.

The Ford Focus is generally regarded as a durable and dependable family hatchback, though the 1.6 TDCi diesel variant requires attentive maintenance regarding its emissions equipment.
