2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LT14 FPZ

The March 2026 MOT at 95,509 miles passed with only a note that the near‑side and off‑side front brake discs were worn but not excessive, confirming the vehicle is presently roadworthy while indicating ongoing brake wear. The maintenance record shows a stable pattern, with minor defects recurring but no escalation to serious mechanical failures. Mileage has risen from 35,246 miles in March 2017 to 95,509 miles in March 2026, averaging roughly 7,959 miles per year, which is typical for a 12‑year‑old Ford Focus; the 2018 entry reporting 472,401 miles is an outlier that does not reflect normal usage and likely represents a recording error, as the subsequent entries demonstrate a steady, incremental increase without rapid accumulation. Recurring issues centre on tyre tread wear that has repeatedly approached the legal limit, brake discs that show pitting or scoring, and washer‑system failures that have appeared in multiple tests, suggesting that suspension components such as bushes or coil springs may be deteriorating and that the washer pump or hoses could be weak; these patterns merit close inspection for binding calipers, worn suspension parts, and structural rust. A buyer should therefore examine tyre condition and alignment, measure brake disc thickness and pad wear, inspect suspension bushes, springs and shock absorbers for wear or damage, verify washer fluid flow and wiper operation, and look for any chassis corrosion or structural cracks, to ensure the minor defects recorded in the MOT history have not progressed into serious safety concerns.
