FORD FOCUS2013 · 1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 August 2025 at 40,808 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the owner has addressed any necessary requirements promptly. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,140 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 32,088 miles and August 2025 at 40,808 miles, the car covered only 8,720 miles. While this low usage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can lead to degradation of age-related components. The failure recorded in August 2023 at 35,480 miles indicates a specific issue that was rectified immediately, as the subsequent retest later that month passed with no defects. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the condition of the rubber components, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot and cracking. Inspect the suspension bushes, tyre boots, and sidewalls for signs of age rather than wear and tear. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for pitting or surface rust caused by long periods of standing. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for corrosion, ensuring that the low mileage has not masked underlying rust issues over the decade of service.
