FORD FOCUS2013 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing over the last several years. The most recent MOT test conducted in August 2025 at 103,785 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a functional standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 76,385 miles and August 2025 at 103,785 miles, the car covered roughly 27,400 miles, showing a steady and predictable consumption rate. The failure recorded in September 2023 at 86,392 miles was immediately followed by a successful retest that same day, which suggests a minor issue that was rectified promptly rather than a sign of chronic mechanical neglect. Despite the clean records in recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common areas of wear for a thirteen-year-old Ford Focus. Given the mileage, examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade over time regardless of low annual mileage. You should also check for early signs of corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting points, as the MOT test only flags structural rust once it reaches a significant threshold. A visual check of the brake discs for thinning or binding calipers is also advisable to ensure the braking system remains as effective as the test record suggests.
