2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FL14 DZG

The 2014 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 88,297 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the May 2025 and May 2024 tests also passed with clean sheets. The history shows no escalating faults and no outstanding advisories across the last three years. Recorded mileage sits at 88,297 against a 12-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,358 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the 9 May 2024 pass at 77,182 miles and the 10 May 2025 pass at 85,333 miles shows about 8,151 miles covered in a year. Two failed tests on 4 May 2024 (77,084 miles) and 8 May 2025 (85,328 miles) were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory data to confirm wear state. The DVSA entries show no corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or binding calipers, but a 2014 chassis can hide underseal fatigue and subframe rust not captured in a pass result. Verify the two anomaly failures were retests logged without rectification, and check service history to corroborate the odometer. Given the sparse but clean MOT trail, the Focus reads as lightly troubled mechanically. Prior owners appear to have kept the car to a standard that cleared each formal test. Confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition at point of sale, as these consumables fall outside MOT defect logging when within limits.
