2013 FORD FOCUS TITANIUM TDCI1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 November 2025 at 167,705 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend of perfection across the last five tests suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile indicates consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,900 miles per year over its 13-year life. There is a notable gap between the January 2020 test at 104,834 miles and the June 2022 test at 134,757 miles, during which the vehicle covered nearly 30,000 miles. However, the subsequent records show a steady accumulation of roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles annually. This regularity suggests regular motorway use which often is less taxing on drivetrain components than short-trip city driving. Despite the clean MOT records, the high cumulative mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components prone to accelerated wear. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber, as these often degrade after the 150,000-mile mark. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers or thin discs, as the MOT does not measure pad thickness until it reaches failure limits. Given the age and mileage, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis for sub-surface corrosion remains essential to ensure no hidden rust has developed between the annual inspections.
