2014 Ford Focus Zetec S Tdci 1.6L Heavy oil · SH14 HNB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 70,695 miles resulted with no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. This clean record extends back through the previous five consecutive tests, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances without the emergence of recurring failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between January 2023 and December 2023, where the car covered over 3,600 miles in just eleven months. However, the usage has since moderated again, with roughly 9,000 miles recorded between February 2025 and April 2026. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and tyre alignment, as early records from 2017 and 2018 flagged issues with uneven tyre wear and wipers nearing the legal limit. Although these issues do not appear in more recent tests, they indicate a potential for geometry faults or worn suspension bushes developed in the past. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to check for brake disc corrosion or seized calipers, as components that are used less frequently are prone to surface oxidation.
