2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · SJ14 PBO

The 2014 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 January 2026 at 137,644 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared with no defects recorded at that test. This follows a clean pass on 14 January 2025 and another on 19 January 2024, showing no escalating mechanical concerns across the three years of data. Recorded mileage rose from 127,387 in January 2024 to 131,872 in January 2025, then to 137,644 by January 2026, equating to roughly 5,000 miles per year over the period against an overall average near 11,470. The lower recent annual use suggests lighter running than typical for the age. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories or noted wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion at any stage. Two failed tests appear on 13 January 2025 at 131,871 miles and 20 January 2026 at 137,637 miles, yet both list no defects and were immediately followed by passes at one mile higher the next day. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation failures at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Previous keepers clearly maintained the car to a standard that avoided recorded advisories across three consecutive winters. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and underbody structural integrity given the car is twelve years old and has covered 137,644 miles. The absence of flagged corrosion or binding calipers in the record is reassuring, but MOT cleanliness does not certify component life. Verify service history and check for intermittent electrical or emissions issues not captured in these entries.
