2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · NG14 OLN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on June 2, 2026. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, as the car achieved three clean passes prior to the most recent failure. The failure on June 2 was due to a worn nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage, a failed windscreen washer, and an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately suggests the owner is proactive in addressing specific test failures once they are identified. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 72,791 miles in July 2023 to 83,225 miles in June 2026. This consistent accumulation suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of stagnation, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seized brake calipers. The intervals between tests have remained regular, typically falling within eleven to twelve months of each other, indicating a consistent participation in the national testing and testing scheme. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension geometry, as the previously flagged anti-roll bar linkage indicates that bushes and joints may be reaching the end of their service life. The buyer should also check the front control arms and bushings for similar signs of wear, which are common on this generation of Focus. Given the recent failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system, verify that the system is now fully functional and that no warning lights remain on the dashboard. While the history shows no structural corrosion, a visual check of the underbody and mounting points remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age to ensure long-term structural integrity.
