2014 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · KM64 VLE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection history indicates a decline in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its test in November 2025 at 61,875 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior at 61,773 miles. The transition from a clean record in previous years to multiple failures involving tyres and brake components suggests that the owner has only addressed essential repairs when forced to do so by the MOT tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,156 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2022 and 2024, where the car maintained a defectless record across a span of 42,428 to 54,436 miles. However, the jump of 7,439 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests represents a slight increase in annual usage, which correlates with the emerging mechanical wear observed in the latest test results. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the 2025 failure flagged an offside tyre with exposed cords and a nearside tyre with excessive inner-edge wear. These symptoms typically indicate incorrect tracking geometry or worn control arm bushes which have likely been left unaddressed. Additionally, the thin front brake pads noted in November 2025 suggest that the braking system is nearing the end of its service interval, requiring a thorough check of the discs for scoring or heat damage caused by delayed replacement.
