2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · MK14 PYV

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a consistent pattern of neglect regarding basic maintenance. While it passed its most recent test on 20 November 2025, this followed a failure on the same day for multiple safety-critical items. The maintenance trend is reactive rather than proactive, as the owner only addresses faults once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative checks. The recurring presence of perished and structurally compromised tyres suggests a long-term disregard for consumable safety and vehicle upkeep. Data regarding mileage accumulation is insufficient to determine the usage patterns of this 2014 Ford Focus. There are no recorded mileage figures to compare against the 2023, 2024, or 2025 tests. Without these figures, it is impossible to verify if the vehicle is being used regularly or sitting stationary, or if the wear observed on the tyres and wiper blades is consistent with the age of the car. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the tyres and suspension, as the history shows repeated structural failures in the rubber. The 2024 test flagged a bulge and exposed cords on the nearside tyres, which indicate significant impact damage or age-related degradation. The constant inner edge wear across multiple tests also points to persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. Furthermore, the cooling system and hydraulic brake fluid levels require immediate scrutiny; the 2024 failure for an empty coolant tank and low brake fluid suggests potential leaks or a failure to monitor vital fluid levels that could lead to catastrophic engine failure or braking inefficiency.
