2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · PF64 MLL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of developing structural and mechanical wear. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 58,712 miles passed, it flagged cracking on the nearside front tyre and corrosion across both front and rear suspension components. This represents a progression from the clean record in 2021, suggesting that the vehicle is beginning to show signs of age-related degradation despite the relatively low annual mileage. At 12 years old, this de-registered Ford Focus has covered significantly less than the average, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 7,000 miles recorded between each annual test from 2021 to 2025. However, low-mileage often leads to rubber-based failure rather than mechanical wear, which is evidenced by the recurring tyre cracking noted in 2023 and 2025, as well as the brake hose corrosion in 2022. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody, as the record shows that sill covers and under trays were fitted in 2022 and 2024, which previously obstructed a full view of testable structural items. There is a clear history of corrosion issues affecting the suspension components and the exhaust silencer joint noted in 2024. Furthermore, the steering rack requires close attention; the tester flagged play in the inner joints and ball ends across 2022 and 2024, indicating that the steering assembly is nearing the end of its optimal life.
