2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EJ13 AEA

This Ford Focus presents a highly stable maintenance profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 15 May 2025 at 87,184 miles without a single defect or advisory recorded. This continues a consistent trend of clean passes dating back several years, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for a thirteen year old car. It has covered approximately 6,700 miles per year on average. The distance between tests has remained steady, with roughly 6,400 miles added between May 2023 and May 2024, and a slightly higher increase of 6,633 miles leading into the May 2025 test. There are no erratic jumps or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The record shows a single failure on 27 May 2022 at 67,986 miles, though it passed on the same day. The absence of any recorded defects during that failure is unusual but indicates a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a serious mechanical flaw. No recurring faults regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs appear in the history. A physical inspection should focus on age-related wear that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check for corrosion on the sills and rear arches and inspect the condition of the rubber seals. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, a buyer should still verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacement, as these critical maintenance items are not captured in the DVSA roadworthiness records.
