2014 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WN14 XHP

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent test in November 2022. At that time, the car recorded 99,802 miles and passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the previous owner addressed any immediate issues prior to the deadline. While the history shows intermittent failures in earlier years, the most recent clean sheet suggests the mechanical and safety components were functioning to an acceptable standard during the last official inspection. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression of roughly 9,000 miles between October 2020 and October 2021, and another 5,700 miles between October 2021 and November 2022. However, there is a significant gap of over three years since the last recorded MOT test today. This lack of recent data means the current state of the brake components, tyre condition, and structural integrity has not been verified by a tester for an extended period. A physical inspection should focus on the lower suspension and braking system, as these are common areas of failure on the Focus at this mileage. The previous failures in 2020 and 2021 indicate the vehicle has historically required attention to meet roadworthiness standards, so a buyer should check for signs of perished bushes, worn coil springs, or corrosion on the brake discs. Given the time elapsed since the last test, a thorough check of the chassis for structural rust and checking the exhaust system is essential to ensure no significant degradation has occurred during the period of unrecorded use.
