2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · YR14 OFB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in April 2026 at 86,611 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of neglect regarding consumable items and vehicle alignment. The most recent test flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and a physical nail in the offside rear tyre. While the car passes, the recurring nature of tyre issues suggests the owner only addresses immediate failures rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the records between December 2022 and February 2024, during which the vehicle covered roughly 8,100 miles. Since the February 2024 test at 72,850 miles, the car has covered over 13,000 miles in two years, indicating a recent increase in annual usage. This steady accumulation explains the accelerated wear on the rubber-based components and braking systems despite the relatively low total odometer figure. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and steering geometry, as the MOT history repeatedly reports inside edge wear on the tyres from 2021 through 2026. This specific fault indicates worn control arm bushes, ball joints, or incorrect tracking alignment that requires immediate professional adjustment. Furthermore, the record of thin front brake pads in 2021 suggests that the braking system is serviced only on a reactive basis. A physical check of the brake discs for thinning or excessive corrosion is necessary to ensure the components are not nearing the end of their functional life.
