2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LF64 RMY

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of recorded defects. Following a failure in May 2024, the most recent test on 12 June 2026 shows a pass with no defects recorded. The 2024 failure was significant, as the tester flagged two dangerous defects regarding structural damage to both the offside and nearside rear tyres. These issues, specifically tears caused by separation or partial failure, represent a serious immediate risk that required rectification to achieve subsequent passes. The recorded mileage of 82,316 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,860 miles per year since its 2014 manufacture. The MOT records show a consistent annual testing pattern from May 2023 through to June 2026, with no significant gaps in the inspection timeline. This regular testing frequency provides a continuous view of the vehicle's compliance over the last three years. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre condition, specifically looking for any signs of sidewall bulging or uneven wear that might indicate previous structural issues. While the 2024 tyre failures were resolved, checking the tread depth and the integrity of the rubber on all four tyres remains necessary. The 2024 advisory regarding a child seat obstructing the adult belt inspection suggests that certain areas of the interior or seatbelt assemblies might not have been fully scrutinised during that specific test. Beyond the tyres, the absence of advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion in the most recent tests suggests these components were within acceptable limits at the time of testing. However, given the age of the vehicle, a manual check of the underside for structural rust and the condition of the braking system is advisable to supplement the digital record. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
