2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · TW13 AMY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. Although the most recent test on 27 March 2026 at 113,884 miles resulted in an initial failure, the immediate pass on the same day with no recorded defects suggests a minor, easily rectified consumable item was addressed instantly. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record without advisories or recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,760 miles per year. Between March 2023 (100,880 miles) and March 2024 (101,108 miles), the car covered only 228 miles, indicating a period of very low use or storage. However, the subsequent increase of over 12,000 miles leading to the March 2026 tests shows a return to regular driving cycles, which is standard for preventing wear on rubber-based components and fluid systems. Given the clean MOT history devoid of advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Ford Focus wear points that MOT tests do not always capture. Inspect the rear suspension trailing arms and control arm bushings for tearing, as these often degrade at this mileage bracket. Check the brake discs for signs of thinning and verify the condition of the turbocharger or coolant hoses, as high mileage increases the likelihood of rubber perish failure. The lack of previous structural failures suggests the chassis has been well-protected, but a visual check of the sills and wheel arches remains necessary.
