2013 FORD FOCUS1.6L Diesel

The 2013 Ford Focus shows a broadly roadworthy status as of the latest DVSA examination on 28 May 2025, which returned a pass at 174,624 miles with no defects recorded. A failed entry on the same date at identical mileage but without listed defects points to an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical deficiency. The maintenance trend is stable: consecutive passes on 1 June 2022 (122,979 miles), 31 May 2023 (136,529), 31 May 2024 (153,247) and 28 May 2025 (174,624) carried zero advisories. Odometer progression sits above average for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 122,979 miles at the June 2022 test, 136,529 by May 2023, 153,247 by May 2024 and 174,624 by May 2025. Yearly increments grew from about 13,500 to 16,700 then 21,400 miles, revealing intensifying use rather than long stationary periods. Test spacing stayed within thirteen months throughout, leaving a continuous but sparse trail. Absence of flagged faults on the MOT does not certify component health at this mileage. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers will have endured high cyclic loads. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural compromise, yet a physical inspection of sills, subframes and exhaust hangers is warranted given the age and salt-exposure risk. Prior keepers maintained test compliance but generated no advisories that often warn of impending wear. A workshop evaluation should confirm steering rack play, drivetrain noise and emission levels under load. Rising annual mileage suggests routine consumable changes were likely performed, though intermittent electrical or binding caliper faults can evade a static assessment.
