2014 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · ML14 AAU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 30 October 2025 at 123,610 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with advisories from earlier tests either resolved or remaining minor. The tester noted no outstanding issues at the latest inspection. Mileage accumulation averages roughly 10,300 miles per year over the vehicle's 12-year life, consistent with normal usage. The record shows regular annual testing, with no significant gaps between inspections. The largest single-year jump occurred between October 2023 and November 2024, covering 9,443 miles, which remains within expected bounds. No evidence of long periods standing or erratic usage patterns is apparent from the data. Recurring advisories centre on rear suspension components. Both rear trailing arm bushes were flagged for wear in the November 2022 test, while the rear anti-roll bar linkage bush appeared in both the October 2020 and November 2024 inspections. These items should be inspected in person for excessive play or deterioration, particularly given their repeated mention. The rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin in March 2018, though no subsequent brake advisories have been recorded, suggesting the issue was addressed. A visual check of all brake components, including discs and calipers, is recommended before purchase. No structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures appear in the record. The defective exhaust mounting noted in November 2024 was a loose clamp rather than a structural concern and did not recur at the latest test. Overall, the vehicle presents as well-maintained, with advisories limited to routine suspension bush wear typical of higher-mileage examples.
