2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · HX64 VDR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 27 September 2025 at 88,502 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one day prior. This pattern suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing immediate compliance issues to ensure the vehicle remains legal. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three passing tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum operating standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,375 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 82,082 miles and the September 2024 test at 85,373 miles, the car covered 3,291 miles, which is lower than the annual average. However, the interval of 3,129 miles between September 2024 and September 2025 shows a return to normal usage levels. This relatively low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but can sometimes lead to rubber degradation if the car sits for long periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the MOT record does not capture minor wear before it becomes a. Given the age of the Focus, check the condition of the control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion. While the history is clean of faults, the recurring one-day failures prior to passes suggest that minor items-related issues or light bulbs might be rectified only when necessary for the test rather than as part of a preventative maintenance schedule. Inspect the brake discs for excessive thinning or pitting, which are common on vehicles of this age bracket.
