2013 FORD FOCUS1.6L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as the May 2022 test at 78,033 miles recorded a pass with no defects noted, indicating a stable maintenance trend and no evident worsening of mechanical condition since that date. The mileage of 78,033 miles over the 13 years since the car’s 2013 manufacture equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year, a figure typical for its age and suggesting regular, moderate use rather than prolonged standing or aggressive driving. No significant gaps appear in the record beyond the four‑year interval before the 2022 test, and the consistent mileage figure supports the view that the car has been driven at a steady pace. A buyer should focus on the usual wear points that commonly affect a 2013 Ford Focus: suspension bushes and coil springs may show signs of fatigue, while brake calipers and discs merit close inspection for binding or uneven wear. Structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and chassis rails, should be examined, as should the condition of the exhaust system and any advisories that might have been issued in previous tests. Finally, the buyer ought to verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the overall state of the drivetrain and suspension components during an in‑person inspection, as these items are prone to wear even when MOT records show no formal defects.
