2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · MK64 ABO

The most recent MOT on 7 April 2026 at 96,249 miles recorded a failure, though no specific defects were listed, indicating a possible emerging issue despite an otherwise stable maintenance history. Mileage has risen steadily from 65,279 miles in October 2022 to 96,249 miles in April 2026, averaging about 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twelve‑year‑old vehicle; the intervals between tests show consistent accumulation with the largest increase of roughly 12,600 miles between October 2024 and October 2025 and no prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, check that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs show no scoring, examine the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, and verify the condition of the exhaust system and overall structural integrity, as these components are prone to deterioration even when the MOT record lists no defects.
