2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · SP03 ARM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on 23 July 2025 at 70,793 miles. This result followed a curious failure just one month prior on 26 June 2025 at 70,760 miles, yet the record shows no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately. Since this anomaly, the car has maintained a consistent passing record without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. Data shows a period of limited use between March 2023 at 62,117 miles and July 2024 at 68,641 miles, followed by a more recent active period. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or surface corrosion on brake discs which is not captured by mileage alone. Because the MOT history lacks recorded mechanical or structural faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-use age. A buyer should check for perished suspension bushes and cracked tyre sidewalls which often become brittle over time rather than through mileage. Given the age of the Ford, inspecting the brake calipers for seized pistons and checking the underbody for structural corrosion is essential to ensure that the low mileage has not masked environmental-related decay.
