2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FN64 WVR

The 2014 Ford Focus presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 23 December 2025 at 65,467 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without any advisories. Prior to this, a test on 13 February 2025 at 62,802 miles also passed with no defects, confirming a consistent pattern of mechanical compliance over the past year. The recorded mileage of 65,467 miles equates to roughly 5,456 miles per year, which is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows a steady but gradual accumulation of miles, increasing from 57,237 miles in January 2023 to 65,467 miles by December 2025. This represents an average of approximately 4,100 miles per year over this specific period, suggesting the car has seen light, local use rather than sustained high-mileage commuting. The gap between the January 2023 and December 2023 tests shows a modest increase of 1,839 miles, reinforcing the pattern of gentle usage. Despite the clean MOT record, a vehicle covering low mileage for extended periods requires specific scrutiny. Buyers should inspect the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat-spotting, as low annual mileage often leads to rubber perishing before the tread wears down. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for deterioration, as a car sitting stationary can suffer from seized components and perished rubber. The failed test on 11 January 2023 at 57,237 miles recorded no defects, which is a data anomaly, yet the subsequent pass two days later suggests a minor, easily rectified issue like a faulty bulb was addressed. A thorough inspection of the brake discs for surface corrosion is also prudent, as infrequent use can cause pitting that leads to juddering under heavy braking.
