2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · BF63 GWC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a positive maintenance trend in recent years. The most recent MOT test on 16 September 2025 at 72,139 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the previous mechanical issues have been successfully addressed. This follows a clean result in March 2024, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that prevents immediate safety-critical failures. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,139 miles represents low annual usage of approximately 5,550 miles. This low-intensity use typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking system, though the data shows significant fluctuations in usage patterns. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered over 11,000 miles, whereas it covered only about 4,000 miles in the two years prior. Such periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension due to a recurring history of coil spring failures. The tester flagged a fractured nearside front coil spring in June 2019 at 30,273 miles and a broken offside front spring in February 2022 at 46,071 miles. While these have been replaced, the repetitive nature suggests a potential vulnerability in the front suspension geometry or a history of driving on surfaces that stress these components. Additionally, the history of tyres worn to legal limits in 2017 and 2023 indicates that previous owners have occasionally waited until failure before replacing consumables, necessitating a thorough check of the current tread depth and alignment wear patterns.
