2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FN14 PPX

The 2014 Ford Focus presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness status, confirmed by a clean pass on 7 April 2026 at 101,549 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains consistent, showing no recurring mechanical or structural failures across the documented history. Despite two failed tests appearing on the record—on 28 November 2024 and 7 April 2026—both list no specific defects, suggesting either presenting issues resolved prior to the same-day passes or administrative anomalies rather than unresolved mechanical faults. The vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without any outstanding advisories. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,462 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. Examining the chronological data reveals a period of notably low usage between November 2023 and November 2024, covering just 2,561 miles. This was followed by a return to more typical driving patterns, with 9,373 miles accumulated between the December 2024 pass and the April 2026 test. The record is sparse but entirely clean, lacking the typical advisories for wear items that often begin appearing around the 90,000-mile mark on this generation of Focus. Although the MOT record shows no flagged defects, a physical inspection must focus on the typical wear points for a 101,000-mile Focus. Examine the front suspension lower arms and rear trailing arm bushes for deterioration, alongside the coil springs for corrosion or fracture. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around the flexi-joint and mounting points. The anomaly of the failed tests with no recorded defects warrants a direct query to the seller regarding the circumstances of those specific test dates. Verify the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking and ensure the windscreen wipers and washer jets function correctly, as these are common failure points that might explain the undocumented fails.
