2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · RC05 ROB

The 2014 Ford Focus presents a consistent history of roadworthiness over the last years. The most recent inspection in February 2026 was successful with 136,140 miles and no recorded defects, suggesting that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional standard. Looking back at the previous three years, the car passed its annual tests regularly, despite a single failure in early 2024. This pattern indicates that while the vehicle occasionally requires attention to meet compliance, the issues are resolved and do not represent a chronic mechanical decline. The mileage progression is relatively steady for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. There is a logical climb from 110,864 miles in 2023 to the current 136,140 miles, which suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. This consistent usage is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals, brakes, and batteries. The gap between the 2024 failure and the subsequent pass was minimal, indicating the owner was proactive in addressing the faults that caused the initial failure. While there are no active defects on the current MOT certificate, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas common to this model. At over 136,000 miles, the suspension bushings, shock absorbers, and brake components should be checked for significant wear or thinning. Given the age, also inspect for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills, as these are typical areas of concern for this generation of Focus. The overall history shows a car that has been kept on the road and maintained through enough testing to pass consistently.
