2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FE13 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 6 August 2025 at 101,241 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of consistent passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the mechanical and safety systems effectively enough to avoid recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 19,474 miles, showing a steady rate of accumulation. While a failure was recorded on 2 August 2023 at 87,887 miles, the vehicle passed the re-test the very same day after just one mile of travel. This suggests a minor component failure or a consumable issue that was immediately rectified rather than a systemic mechanical fault. Despite the clean test results over the last three years, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on specific common wear points for this generation of Ford Focus. At over 100,000 miles, the rubber bushings in the suspension and control arms often show signs of degradation which the MOT may not flag until they become significant. Check for corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as the MOT test only identifies structural rust once it reaches a specific threshold. Examining the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers is also advisable to ensure the high mileage has not led to neglected maintenance of the braking system.
