2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FL63 BNJ

The vehicle appears to be in a stable roadworthiness condition based on the most recent MOT results. The September 2025 test at 167,457 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that previous issues were successfully rectified. While the record shows two failures in 2023 and 2025, these appear to be isolated incidents rather than a progressive mechanical decline, as the vehicle has consistently passed subsequent inspections without new advisories. The mileage accumulation is significant for a 12-year-old vehicle. Between October 2023 and September 2025, the car covered 18,976 miles, which aligns with the historical average of approximately 13,955 miles per year. This consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods. The steady increase in mileage from 148,481 miles in 2023 to 167,457 miles in 2025 indicates a predictable and active service life. A prospective buyer should focus on high-wear components due to the high total mileage. Although the MOT record is clean of current advisories, the cumulative distance of 167,457 miles places considerable stress on the suspension system, including bushes, coil springs, and dampers. The recurring failures in 2023 and 2025, despite no specific defects being listed in this summary, suggest that the vehicle may have occasionally struggled with minor compliance issues. Physical inspection should prioritise checking for underside corrosion and the condition of the braking system. Given the high mileage, it is prudent to examine the brake discs for pitting and the calipers for signs of binding. Additionally, the drivetrain and various rubber components, such as CV boots and engine mounts, should be checked for wear, as these often reach the end of their service life around the 150,000-mile mark.
