2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FJ14 RRO

The 2014 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 286,875 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior annual tests from June 2022 through June 2024 also passed with no advisories or faults noted, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that clears the MOT threshold consistently over the past four years. The recorded mileage stands at 286,875 miles against an approximate 12-year age, equating to roughly 23,900 miles per year and placing this car well above typical use for the model. The records show steady annual accumulation: 212,941 miles on 13 June 2022, rising to 213,045 two days later, then 229,559 by June 2023, 269,175 by June 2024, and 286,875 by June 2025. The only anomaly is the 13 June 2022 failure at 212,941 miles with no defects listed, followed by a pass on 15 June 2022 at 213,045 miles, which suggests an administrative or presentational issue at the first test rather than a mechanical defect. Given the high mileage and clean MOT history with no flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or corrosion, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of wear-prone components not always caught by MOT. The front suspension arms, rear beam bushes, and brake caliper slide operation warrant physical checks given the 286,875-mile count. Drivetrain mounts and clutch wear should also be assessed, as these fall outside MOT scope but degrade under sustained high annual distances. The absence of recorded advisories across four passes implies previous owners addressed issues before test rather than running the car on marginal tyres or worn wipers. The two-day 2022 test reversal shows the car was quickly retested rather than repaired, confirming no outstanding structural or mechanical risk in the official record.
