2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CV64 EJO

The 2014 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 71,017 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed test logged on the same date at 71,016 miles showed no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in October 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories, confirming consistent compliance across the recorded period. Recorded mileage sits at 71,017 against an estimated 5,918 miles per year for a twelve-year-old vehicle, reflecting low usage. The car covered 4,209 miles between the October 2022 test at 55,808 miles and October 2023 at 59,643 miles, then 5,293 miles to October 2024 at 64,936 miles, and 6,081 miles to the October 2025 pass. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the progression is steady and below average for the model age. The absence of flagged advisories means the MOT record reveals no recurring suspension bushes wear, brake disc corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity concerns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, binding calipers, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing from low annual mileage. Pre-purchase checks should include measuring tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verifying fluid service history absent from MOT data, and confirming the 2025 duplicate test entry was a clerical error rather than a concealed defect. The clean record implies previous owners maintained basic statutory testing but offers no evidence of proactive mechanical care beyond the mandated annual examination.
