2014 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · YR64 AEK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 16 March 2026 at 142,700 miles, indicating a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the three most recent successful tests suggests the current owner maintains the car to a high standard. While the vehicle experienced two immediate retests in September 2023 and September 2024, the lack of recorded failure items implies these were likely administrative or minor procedural errors rather than significant mechanical faults. Accumulating 142,700 miles over twelve years aligns with typical usage patterns for a Ford Focus, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. The mileage progression remains consistent across the provided history, showing steady annual increments of roughly 6,000 to 6,500 miles between 2023 and 2026. This consistent usage suggests the engine and drivetrain have not suffered from prolonged periods of inactivity, which often lead to seized components or degraded seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas that fall outside the scope of a standard MOT, specifically the condition of the clutch and dual-mass flywheel, which are common failure points at this mileage. Although the MOT record is clean, check the suspension bushes and ball joints for signs of perishing rubber, as these components frequently wear on this chassis even when they pass a visual inspection. Examine the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion on the subframe and sills to ensure the structural integrity remains sound for the coming years.
