FORD FOCUS2013 · 1.6L DIESEL

The 2013 Ford Focus passed its most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 101,899 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status and a stable maintenance trend following earlier minor issues. The March 2025 test at 96,573 miles passed with only a worn offside front suspension arm bush and a child seat blocking belt inspection, while the March 2024 failure for front brake imbalance was rectified and the vehicle passed the same day. Recurring edge tyre wear in 2023 and the 2024 brake fault have not reappeared, suggesting previous owners addressed faults promptly rather than deferring repairs. Recorded mileage shows typical use for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,838 miles per year from 84,728 miles in March 2023 to 101,899 miles in March 2026. The annual increments are consistent: 6,192 miles to March 2024, 5,653 to March 2025, and 5,326 to March 2026. No standing periods or sudden accumulation are evident. The MOT history is sparse on advisories, with only the 2025 bush wear and 2023 tyre edge wear noted, implying reasonable but not exhaustive mechanical scrutiny between tests. A buyer should physically inspect the offside front suspension arm bushes for progression of the wear flagged at 96,573 miles, as bush degradation can accelerate and affect tracking. The front brake imbalance failure on 20 March 2024 warrants a check of disc condition, caliper slide operation, and pad evenness to confirm the correction holds. Tyres showed edge wear on both fronts in 2023; verify current tread depth and sidewall integrity across all four corners. No corrosion or structural defects appear in the record, but underside inspection for rust remains prudent on a vehicle of this age.
