2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FN64 VTL

The 2014 Ford Focus presents a highly stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 14 October 2025 at 99,244 miles with zero defects recorded. A preceding test on 7 October 2025 at 99,225 miles shows a failure, though notably no defects were recorded against it, suggesting an administrative abort or a rectification of a minor pre-test issue rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of any advisories or failures across the entire recorded history indicates a vehicle that has consistently met the required safety and emissions standards without requiring significant remedial work. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,270 miles annually. Between the September 2024 test at 89,270 miles and the October 2025 tests at 99,225 miles, the car covered approximately 9,955 miles over a twelve-month period. A gap exists in the record between March 2023 and September 2024, spanning roughly eighteen months, during which the vehicle accrued 6,936 miles. The data is sparse but entirely clean, showing no rapid spikes in mileage that would indicate unusually arduous use. The official record flags no recurring mechanical or structural defects, meaning the buyer cannot rely on the MOT history to highlight specific weak points. A physical inspection must therefore focus on standard wear items appropriate for a vehicle approaching 100,000 miles. Check the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes for deterioration, and inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills, as these components age regardless of a flawless MOT record. Tyre tread depth and rubber perishing also warrant close scrutiny given the vehicle's age.
