2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FN64 YBA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in February 2026. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs where faults are addressed immediately upon failure rather than through preventative maintenance. While the February 2026 test at 82,339 miles failed for a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and a deteriorated rear plate, the vehicle passed the retest just one day later. This suggests the owner is willing to rectify immediate compliance issues to maintain legal operation. At 12 years of age, the recorded mileage of 82,342 miles represents an average usage of approximately 6,862 miles per year. This is consistent with low-intensity commuting patterns which typically reduce the strain on engine-related components and drivetrain assemblies. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 4,500 miles covered between February 2024 and 2025, and another 4,700 miles before the February 2026 test. This steady usage suggests the car has not been subject to long periods of stagnation. A buyer should inspect the tyre condition in detail, as the February 2025 failure at 77,599 miles highlighted both a nearside front tyre below the legal limit and an offside front tyre with uneven wear. This indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require mechanical attention. The recurring deteriorated rear registration plate is a persistent defect across three years of testing and should be replaced to ensure clear visibility. Since no structural corrosion or brake system failures were recorded in the history, the physical inspection should focus on checking for rust on the sills and verifying the functionality of the pressure monitoring system to ensure the previous failure was truly resolved.
