2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FN64 WPY

The 2014 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 26 July 2025 at 85,690 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the latest three annual tests showing no advisories or faults. Two earlier failures on 17 July 2023 and 26 July 2024 at identical mileages of 70,349 and 78,155 respectively were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical defects. The vehicle has not shown a worsening or recurring mechanical pattern across its history. Recorded mileage sits at 85,690 against an approximate 12-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,141 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model age. The odometer advanced 7,806 miles between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests, then 7,534 miles to July 2025, a consistent annual accumulation with no standing periods or sudden high-use spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing only clean passes and the two defect-free failures, so the record gives little basis to question drivetrain or consumable wear from mileage alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car is now over a decade old and Ford Focus platforms commonly develop corrosion at subframe mounts and rear axle brackets by this age. The MOT record flags no structural integrity concerns or exhaust emissions breaches, but testers recorded no advisories even on tyres or wiper blades, which suggests either meticulous upkeep or cursory examination at the testing station. Verify the two same-day fail-then-pass pairs with the DVLA to confirm no suppressed defects, and check service history for cambelt interval since the EcoBoost units demand replacement by mileage or ten years. The clean trail implies the previous owner kept basic upkeep current, yet the absence of any advisories across five tests warrants a cautious independent check before purchase.
