2013 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · SG03 ACG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by consistent pass results over the last three years. The most recent test on 16 February 2026 at 100,387 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This sequence suggests a minor mechanical issue was identified and immediately rectified prior to the retest, indicating an owner who is proactive about addressing MOT failures to maintain legal operation. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between February 2023 at 64,725 miles and February 2026 at 100,387 miles, the car covered 35,662 miles, which aligns with typical annual usage expectations. The intervals of roughly 12,000 miles between the annual tests suggest a regular driving schedule rather than long periods of inactivity, which reduces the likelihood of component degradation associated with standing vehicles such as extreme high-mileage stress. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Focus of this era that do not always trigger an MOT failure immediately. Check the front suspension bushes and lower control arms for signs of tearing, as these often perish before reaching a failure threshold. You should also inspect the brake discs for corrosion and check the structural integrity of the rear arches for rust, as the record does not explicitly detail the presence of surface or structural oxidation in these areas.
