2014 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · MT14 UTR

The 2025‑10‑02 MOT at 119,036 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards, but the preceding 2025‑09‑26 failure at 119,033 miles revealed serious mechanical issues including a fractured near‑side coil spring, a tyre cut reaching the cords, and excessive exhaust emissions, suggesting recent remedial work has restored compliance. Over the eight‑year span from 2017 (57,312 miles) to 2025 (119,036 miles) the mileage has risen at an average of roughly 9,900 miles per year, consistent with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old Focus; the only notable irregularity is the two tests on 2018‑04‑14, where mileage increased by three miles in a single day, and the three‑day interval between the September and October 2025 tests, which shows minimal driving between the failure and the subsequent pass. A buyer should therefore examine the current condition of the brake discs and pads, the integrity of the suspension components—particularly the near‑side coil spring and bushes—and verify that the tyre with the previous cut has been replaced; the exhaust system should be inspected for corrosion and ensure emissions are within limits, while the tyre pressure monitoring sensor and any previous windscreen damage should be confirmed as resolved.
