2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FH14 KWM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent inspection record. The most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 54,200 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded on 30 January 2025, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly rather than a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a twelve-year-old Ford Focus, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. Between February 2023 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 14,124 miles, maintaining a steady rate of roughly 4,700 miles per year. This low usage suggests the car has seen limited road exposure, which typically preserves the drivetrain and engine compared to high-mile vehicles. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which are not always captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Despite the clean MOT history, it is necessary to check for perished suspension bushes and cracked tyre sidewalls which occur with age rather than distance. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from oxidation on the rotors. Given the lack of structural advisories in the recent records, the chassis appears sound, but a close look at the rear sills and mounting points remains prudent to ensure no hidden rust has developed during periods of low use.
