FORD FOCUS2013 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 02 May 2025 at 144,779 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a failure occurred in early May 2024, the immediate re-test pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in addressing any mechanical faults identified by the tester. At 144,779 miles over 13 years, the Focus has averaged approximately 11,137 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows steady use, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,180 miles between May 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of neglect or extreme annual mileage spikes. Despite the clean records in the recent years, a buyer should focus on high-mileage components common to this model. A physical inspection must target the front suspension arms, coil springs, and rubber bushings, as these often perish after 140,000 miles. The buyer should also check for surface corrosion on the underside sills and rear wheel arches, as the MOT only flags structural integrity issues once corrosion reaches a significant threshold. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the brake discs and checking for any fluid leaks is also essential to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean paperwork history.
