2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · AF63 VVR

The 2013 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 23 September 2025 at 125,429 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle carries no logged defects across any test, and the most recent annual cycle shows no mechanical or structural concerns raised by the tester. Recorded mileage rose from 110,886 at the 16 October 2023 test to 118,215 at the 22 October 2024 failure, then to 125,429 by September 2025, equating to roughly 7,000 to 7,500 miles per year in this period against a 13-year average of 9,648. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, showing no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion at any stage. Two consecutive years show a fail logged one day before a pass at near-identical mileage, which suggests administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than a fault rectified on the vehicle. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and 125,000-mile use, as MOT absence of advisories does not confirm component life remaining. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass pattern at 118,215 and 125,429 miles warrants checking the V5C and test certificates to confirm no suppressed defects or swapped testing centres. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing, though the unexplained one-day failures imply either poor test scheduling or loose record-keeping rather than neglected consumables. Given the clean sheet, the Focus shows no worsening mechanical trend, but physical verification of structural integrity remains prudent before purchase.
