2013 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · OE63 ADX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test on December 8, 2025 at 147,303 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just ten miles prior on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately. Since 2023, the car has consistently passed its annual inspections without the accumulation of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The usage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the car covered 8,101 miles, while it clocked 11,129 miles in the following year leading up to the 2025 test. This indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing fluid stagnation. The mileage progression is predictable and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive heavy load stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to high-mileage wear. Given the 147,000-mile mark, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers requires close scrutiny as these often reach the end of their service life. While the record shows no current advisories, checking for corrosion on the sills and exhaust system is vital for a Focus of this age. Inspecting the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs will ensure the recent pass reflects a healthy mechanical state rather than just a temporary fix.
