2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LG14 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing MOT examinations. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 86,982 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was immediately addressed and rectified prior to the retest, as the record shows no lingering mechanical or structural failures across the preceding years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,250 miles per year. Data shows a steady increase in usage, moving from 61,348 miles in May 2022 to 86,982 miles by August 2025. There is a notable period of activity between May 2023 and August 2024 where the vehicle covered over 13,000 miles. This regular usage indicates the car has not been subjected to long periods of stationary which often lead to perished seals or seized components. While the record shows no recurring advisories or structural corrosion, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common Ford Focus wear points at this age. Given the mileage, the inspector should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these often degrade after a decade. The lack of previously recorded brake issues suggests the system has been well-maintained, but a manual check for disc surface pitting or caliper thickness remains necessary to ensure no hidden binding is occurring.
