Our Verdict

A strong candidate for buyers seeking a

Given the low mileage, your primary focus should be on the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed regularly, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to neglected maintenance. Check that the 2023 repairs (brake discs, pads, and the offside front coil spring) were documented with receipts.

When inspecting, check the condition of rubber components and tyres, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from age-related perishing. Because the model aggregate data shows tyres and headlamps as common failure points, ensure these are in good condition before committing to the purchase.

The 1596cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and offers reasonable fuel economy for a family hatchback. Expect typical running costs for a petrol Ford of this era, with tax bands being relatively standard for a 1.6L engine.

Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items like brakes and suspension components, which were noted in the 2023 MOT failure. The estimated annual running cost is mid-range for this vehicle class.

Specifically look at the front suspension area; while the 2023 failure for a fractured offside front coil spring was resolved, it is worth checking for any unusual knocks or rattles when driving over bumps.

Inspect the front braking system, including the discs and pads, to ensure they are in good condition, as these were the primary reasons for the 2023 failure. Additionally, check the headlamps and tyres, as these are the most frequent failure reasons for the Focus model across the 1,096,015 vehicles analysed in our database.

This 2014 black Ford Focus 1.6 petrol has covered 40,471 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. While it had a failure in early 2023 involving brake components and a coil spring, the subsequent three MOT tests have passed with no defects recorded. The vehicle presents as a low-use example of this generation Focus.

The Ford Focus shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.2% across the aggregate data, with common issues relating to tyres, lighting, and anti-roll bars.
