2013 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AX13 ATY

The 2013 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 80,208 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 31 January 2025 at 73,499 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle carries no outstanding advisories or recurring mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred repairs. Recorded mileage sits at a typical 6,170 miles per year for a thirteen-year-old car. The DVSA data shows 64,854 miles at the June 2022 test, rising to 72,820 miles by May 2023 and 72,821 miles the following day after a failed-then-passed retest, then 73,499 miles in January 2025 and 80,208 miles in January 2026. The single oddity is the 23 May 2023 failure at 72,820 miles with no defects logged, corrected within twenty-four hours at 72,821 miles; this points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. The sparse but clean record gives little evidence of neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear MOT trail. The May 2023 failure with no recorded defect warrants confirmation that the DVSA entry reflects a clerical error and not a suppressed fault. At this age and mileage, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion merit hands-on checks even where the tester logged nothing. The low annual use since 2022 suggests the car may have stood idle for periods, so brake caliper binding and flat-spotted tyres from storage should be examined directly.
