2013 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WU13 ABO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a remarkably clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 20 January 2026 at 140,462 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just six miles prior on the same day. This anomaly suggests a clerical administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. Since 2023, the car has passed every inspection without advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. With 140,462 miles recorded, the car has averaged approximately 10,800 miles per year. Data points show steady accumulation, moving from 108,424 miles in March 2023 to 119,773 miles in March 2024, and reaching 130,501 miles by February 2025. This regularity indicates the vehicle has been used consistently, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a buyer must focus on high-mileage wear items during a physical inspection. At over 140,000 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers are likely nearing the end of their operational life. Check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and engine subframe, as MOT tests only flag rust once it becomes structurally significant. Given the clean record, the mechanical components appear well-maintained, but the condition of the brake discs and the integrity of the drivetrain should be verified to ensure no hidden wear has developed between the test intervals.
