2013 FORD FOCUS1.6L Petrol

The 2013 Ford Focus exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five consecutive MOT tests from 2022 to 2026 resulting in a pass. The most recent test on 2026-02-09 at 68,250 miles confirmed no defects, aligning with the prior four annual tests, which also showed no issues. This consistent performance suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets legal requirements, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns flagged in the recorded history. The mileage progression reflects a low annual average of approximately 5,250 miles, which is below the typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle. Notably, the car accumulated 6,855 miles between the 2022-02-22 test (56,742 miles) and the 2023-02-16 test (63,597 miles), a period of roughly 12 months. This spike contrasts with the subsequent steady increases of 1,200–1,300 miles per year, implying potential variations in usage patterns. The absence of gaps in testing suggests regular maintenance, though the low mileage may indicate periods of inactivity, which could affect components like suspension bushes or brake calipers if not periodically exercised. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, given the low mileage and potential for dry rot or stiffness. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for corrosion or binding, as prolonged inactivity can lead to seized mechanisms. While no structural rust or emission issues were recorded, the vehicle’s age necessitates a thorough check of body seams and underbody corrosion, especially if stored in a damp environment. The MOT history provides no evidence of recurring faults, but the irregular mileage pattern warrants a physical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s operational readiness.
