2013 FORD FOCUS1.6L Diesel

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 14 May 2025 at 59,710 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean passes over the last five years indicates that the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation during inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging around 4,600 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 43,569 miles and May 2025 at 59,710 miles, the car covered only 16,141 miles. This low usage frequency typically suggests less wear on drivetrain components, engine internals, and suspension. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry that mileage alone does not capture. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on components affected by age rather than mileage. Check for cracking in tyre sidewalls, suspension bushes, and engine mounts, as these often perish over time regardless of distance driven. Given the low annual usage, verify that brake discs are free of surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can cause calipers to seize. Inspect the underside for early signs of structural rust on the chassis to ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the records suggest.
