2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · M20 LDE

The 2013 Ford Focus holds a clean and stable MOT record. The most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 147,720 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests, from September 2021 through September 2024, also passed without any advisories or failure items. This demonstrates consistent and effective maintenance over a five-year period, with no evidence of worsening mechanical or structural conditions. The recorded mileage pattern shows the car has covered roughly 21,000 miles in the four years between September 2021 and September 2025. That annualised figure of about 5,250 miles is below the 11,363 miles per year suggested by the vehicle's overall age and total mileage, implying a lighter recent workload. One notable anomaly is the gap between September 2022 at 139,529 miles and September 2023 at 140,998 miles, where just 1,469 miles were recorded in twelve months. This could indicate a period of standing or very limited use. More recently, the increments of about 3,500 miles and 3,190 miles between the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests point to a steady, modest usage pattern. With no advisories on record, no structural corrosion or suspension faults have been flagged. However, at 147,720 miles, the car is at a mileage where wear on wearing components is expected. The lack of recorded defects does not guarantee the condition of items that wear gradually between tests. A prospective buyer should personally inspect the condition of the tyres, brake discs and pads, and check for any binding from the calipers. Suspension bushes and coil springs warrant a close look for cracking or corrosion, and the exhaust system should be examined for deterioration. The clutch feel and any signs of oil seepage around the engine and gearbox also merit attention during a physical inspection.
