2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · CX14 DXA

The 2014 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 22 August 2025 at 93,649 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The August 2025 pass came two days after a failure on 20 August 2025 at 93,620 miles, though the tester logged no defects on either entry. A near-identical pattern occurred in 2024, where a failure on 28 August at 81,941 miles was followed by a pass the same day at 81,943 miles with no defects recorded. These back-to-back fail-pass pairs with zero listed faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical defects. The mileage progression shows light-to-average use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record runs 69,755 miles in June 2023, 81,941 miles in August 2024, and 93,649 miles in August 2025, equating to roughly 7,800 miles per year against the age-expected norm. A notable gap exists between the June 2023 and August 2024 tests, leaving roughly fourteen months unaccounted for in the supplied data. The clean advisories across all entries indicate no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion during those windows. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the braking system, coil springs, and underbody structural integrity given the vehicle's age and the unexplained fail-pass anomalies in 2024 and 2025. The absence of recorded advisories does not confirm absence of consumable wear such as wiper blades or exhaust condition, only that the tester raised nothing. Verify the V5C and test station records to confirm whether the two failures were data errors or withheld defect notes before purchase.
