2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · SW14 ADX

The 2023‑04‑07 MOT at 82,006 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record and confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest test. The mileage trajectory shows a modest increase from 70,790 miles in early 2022 to 82,006 miles by April 2023, averaging roughly 800 miles per month, which aligns with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old vehicle; the brief 13‑mile jump between the 2022‑02‑03 failure and the subsequent pass suggests a rapid re‑inspection rather than a period of inactivity. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and look for any structural rust around the wheel arches, sills and chassis rails. Given the clean defect history and consistent mileage, the vehicle appears roadworthy, but a thorough in‑person inspection of these key components remains essential to confirm the absence of hidden wear or corrosion.
