FORD FOCUS ZETEC TDCI2013 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a string of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 April 2025 at 137,394 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements, with no recurring mechanical failures or structural weaknesses flagged by the tester over the recorded years. The mileage history reveals a significant period of intensive use followed by a recent decline. Between November 2019 at 126,017 miles and April 2024 at 216,162 miles, the car covered over 90,000 miles in less than five years, which far exceeds the typical annual average. However, the discrepancy between the April 2024 test at 216,162 miles and the April 2025 test at 137,394 miles indicates a major data entry error or odometer tampering. A buyer must verify the physical odometer reading against the service history, as the mileage cannot logically decrease by 80,000 miles in one year. Given the high historical mileage, the physical inspection should focus on high-wear components that often degrade under long-distance use. Examine the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of perished rubber or fatigue. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers or thin discs, as the high mileage puts significant strain on these components. Additionally, a check of the chassis for corrosion is necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound, despite the lack of recorded faults in the MOT history.
