2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · PE14 EYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in April 2026 at 38,761 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent improvement after a period of significant neglect in early 2025. While the car failed in March 2025 due to multiple mechanical and safety defects, the subsequent pass in April of that year and the latest test this year indicate that the primary faults were addressed, bringing the vehicle back to a stable state. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 3,230 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between April 2024 at 24,089 miles and March 2025, where only 3,171 miles were covered in a year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear, which is evidenced by the perished tyre noted in the 2025 records. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension, as the failure of both the nearside and offside coil springs in March 2025 suggests a potential issue with component fatigue or corrosion from standing. The recurring issues with front brake discs and thin pads across 2024 and 2025 indicate that the braking system was neglected until reaching critical limits. Additionally, the inner wear pattern on the front tyres noted in the previous tests should be checked, as this typically points to an alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that may still require attention.
