2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · ML64 KPP

The 2014 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a pass on 21 March 2026 at 155,443 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 20 March 2026 at identical mileage, yet the DVSA record shows no defects listed for either the fail or the pass. This pattern repeats the prior year, where a failure on 19 March 2025 at 148,893 miles was followed by a pass on 3 April 2025 at 148,918 miles, again with no defects recorded. Such back-to-back failures with zero advisories suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than escalating mechanical decay. The odometer shows 155,443 miles against a twelve-year lifespan, equating to roughly 12,954 miles per year and placing this car above average use for its age. Mileage stepped from 132,074 in the March 2024 pass to 148,918 by April 2025, then to 155,443 by March 2026, reflecting steady annual accumulation of around 16,000 and 6,500 miles in those intervals. The sparse record spanning only three annual cycles offers limited visibility, though the absence of any advisories on passes indicates no flagged wear to tyres, brakes, or suspension bushes across that span. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the high mileage and minimal MOT commentary. The repeated no-defect failures without listed faults mean the DVLA data cannot confirm condition of coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions at the tested dates. Previous owners cleared each failure within days and recorded clean passes, implying the vehicle was presented for retest promptly rather than left idle. Verify in person that no latent binding calipers or worn suspension components exist despite the absent advisories.
