Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a buyer s
When inspecting this specific 1.6L diesel Focus, check the service history for regular oil changes, which is critical for the timing belt interval on these engines. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should still physically inspect the tyres and headlamps, as these are the most common failure points for this model across the wider fleet.
Negotiate based on the fact that while the MOT history is clean, the vehicle is now over 12 years old. Ensure the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump have been replaced according to manufacturer intervals, as this is a common maintenance requirement for the 1560cc diesel engine that MOT tests do not specifically verify.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for longer motorway commutes. You should expect competitive fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2014 Focus are generally moderate, making it an accessible choice for many drivers. Maintenance costs for this model are typically predictable, though you should budget for wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake pads, which are noted as common issues in the wider Ford Focus data set.
Focus your inspection on the suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bars, as aggregate data indicates these are a frequent cause of MOT failures for this model. Although this specific vehicle has no recorded failures, checking for knocks or rattles from the underside is prudent.
Additionally, check the condition of all exterior lighting and tyre tread depth. Since headlamps and tyres are the top failure reasons for the Focus fleet, verifying these are in good condition will ensure the vehicle remains compliant with the standards seen in its recent clean MOT history.
This 2014 red Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi has covered 54,787 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of annual testing with no recorded defects or failures across the last five years of recorded data. Compared to the model aggregate average of 6,826 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven significantly less than the average example.
The Ford Focus shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.2% across over one million analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
