2013 FORD FOCUS1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on January 16, 2026, at 100,485 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent failure involved only a non-mechanical component, the horn, which was rectified immediately for the retest. While the history shows a pattern of reactive repairs, the owner demonstrates willingness to address specific defects to maintain a valid test certificate. At 13 years old with 100,485 miles, the Focus has averaged approximately 7,730 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family hatchback. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,572 miles covered in the final year. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension geometry due to recurring issues with tyre wear. The 2025 test at 94,913 miles flagged an offside front inner tyre with exposed cords and a nearside front tyre worn on the edge, following a similar advisory for the offside tyre at 84,957 miles. These uneven wear patterns often indicate misalignment, worn control arm bushes, or failing ball joints. A physical inspection of the front tie rod ends and strut mounts is required to ensure premature tyre degradation is not caused by a structural mechanical failure.
