2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · PF63 UED

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test on October 18, 2025 at 93,992 miles resulted in a pass immediately following a failure for ineffective windscreen wipers. This indicates that the owner addresses specific MOT-related defects to maintain compliance, yet the overall history shows a pattern of components being replaced only once they reach a failure threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 89,461 miles and the October 2025 test at 93,992 miles, the car covered 4,531 miles in roughly eleven months. This steady, low-intensity usage prevents excessive mechanical strain, but explains the age-related degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces seen in the advisory notes. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension system due to recurring spring issues. The record shows a fractured offside front coil spring in October 2023 at 85,116 miles, followed by a corroded nearside rear coil spring noted in November 2024 at 89,461 miles. This sequence suggests the suspension components are prone to corrosion or are reaching the end of their fatigue life. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding pitted front brake discs and four tyres nearing the legal limit indicates that significant consumable expenditure was due around that period.
