2014 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · RF14 FVM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on September 11, 2025, 84,097 miles. This result followed an immediate failure just one day prior due to a fractured offside front coil spring. While the prompt repair of this component suggests the owner is reactive to safety-critical failures, the overall maintenance trend remains stable as the vehicle achieved clean-sheet passes in the three years prior to that incident. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 74,221 miles and the 2025 test at 84,097 miles, the car covered 10,000 miles, indicating steady, low-intensity usage rather than heavy commuting. This low annual mileage often reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though it can cause rubber-based components like suspension bushes to perish due to age-related degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry given the recent failure of the offside coil spring. The 2022 advisory regarding both front tyres being worn to the legal limit and on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that should be verified to ensure even tyre wear. Since no structural corrosion or brake defects were flagged in the recent history, the primary concerns remain the condition of the age-related rubber components and the state of the current tyres.
