2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · RO14 OPV

The vehicle's MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of passing the test on the first attempt, following a period of more significant failures. The most recent test on 13 November 2025 initially resulted in a failure due to a non-functional offside front position lamp, but the vehicle passed immediately upon rectification. This follows a clean pass in October 2024 and November 2023, indicating that the recent mechanical and electrical compliance has stabilised. The recorded mileage of 60,111 miles over a 12-year period suggests a low annual usage pattern of approximately 5,000 miles. The MOT records do not show any sudden spikes in mileage between the documented tests, which supports a consistent, low-intensity driving profile. However, the lack of recorded mileage for several years between 2021 and 2022 suggests the vehicle may have spent periods stationary, which can sometimes impact rubber components and fluid degradation. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and related suspension components. The 2021 test on 20 November was a dangerous failure due to exposed ply and cords on both rear tyres, alongside advisories for cracking and low tread on the front tyres. While these issues appear to have been addressed given the subsequent clean passes, the history of tyre degradation and cracking suggests the vehicle may have been subject to age-related rubber deterioration or infrequent replacement of consumables. Physical inspection should also focus on the windscreen washer system and exterior lighting to ensure these minor electrical and fluid-delivery faults remain resolved. While the record does not show ongoing issues with brakes, suspension bushes, or structural corrosion, the previous failure regarding the washer system indicates that basic peripheral maintenance has been a point of contention in the past.
