2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · LF64 KFR

The 2014 Ford Focus demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at the most recent MOT on 1 July 2025 at 91,601 miles. Zero defects or advisories were recorded. This unbroken string of five consecutive flawless annual tests points to diligent upkeep and the absence of recurring mechanical or structural issues. At twelve years old with 91,601 miles recorded, the Ford Focus averages roughly 7,633 miles per year, a figure typical for its age. Examining the specific intervals reveals a slight tapering of recent use. The vehicle covered 6,882 miles between the August 2021 and August 2022 tests, dropping to 6,605 miles the following year, and further declining to 4,003 miles between 2023 and 2024. The most recent annual interval up to July 2025 saw 4,817 miles accumulated. This pattern suggests a shift toward lighter, potentially more local driving rather than long-distance commuting. No alarming gaps or sudden mileage spikes appear in the record. Despite the impeccable MOT record, a twelve-year-old vehicle remains subject to age-related degradation that an annual test might not immediately flag. A buyer should inspect the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for corrosion, a common issue on older Foci. Suspension components, including the front lower arm bushes and rear trailing arm bushes, require close scrutiny for perishing or splitting. Brake discs and pads should be measured for wear, as clean MOTs only confirm legal minimums rather than remaining service life. The exhaust system must be checked for corrosion, particularly around the flexi-joint and mounting rubbers. Inspecting the condition of the tyres will also reveal alignment issues, as uneven wear can persist even when tread depths remain legally compliant.
