Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, but prepare for upcoming maintenance. This specific 2014 Ford Focus has maintained a clean MOT record for the last three consecutive years despite high mileage.
Given the high mileage of 162,796 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history to ensure the diesel engine has received regular oil changes. At this stage of a Ford diesel's life, check if the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump have been replaced recently, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1560cc engine.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT record is clean, the vehicle has been driven much more than the typical 2014 model. Ask for evidence of recent work on the suspension and braking components, as these are common wear items on high-mileage Focus models.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Focus is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, likely offering competitive fuel economy. However, buyers should check the specific Euro emission standard to anticipate potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges in certain UK cities.
Insurance groups for this model vary, but the 1.6L engine typically sits in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage will involve more frequent replacements of consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension bushings. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the region of £1,200-£1,500 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
While the recent MOT history for GV14CUK shows no defects since 2022, you should still inspect the tyres and headlamps, as these are the most common failure reasons for the Ford Focus model aggregate.
Pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle for signs of corrosion, which is a frequent issue for this model. Additionally, because this is a high-mileage diesel, listen for any unusual engine noise or vibrations that could indicate issues with the fuel system or turbocharger.
This red 1.6L diesel Ford Focus (GV14CUK) has covered significant distance, currently sitting at 162,796 miles. While the mileage is substantially higher than the model average of 6,879 per year, the vehicle has passed its last three MOT tests with no defects recorded. The history shows one failure in late 2022, but the subsequent three years of testing have been clear of advisories or failures.
The Ford Focus shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.0% across the 1,093,602 vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to tyres, lighting, and corrosion.
