2013 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BJ63 NDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on October 6, 2025. The maintenance trend appears largely stable, though the immediate failure on that same date indicates a recent mechanical issue. The tester flagged the car at 60,793 miles due to high carbon monoxide emissions at idle, which was evidently rectified to secure the pass on the same day. This suggests the engine management or fuel mixture system required urgent attention to meet emissions standards. At 13 years old with only 60,793 miles, this 2013 Ford Focus has averaged approximately 4,676 miles per year. This low-usage pattern is consistent across the recorded years, with only 3,653 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 3,653 miles between 2024 and 2025. While low mileage often preserves wear-sensitive drivetrain and suspension components, it can also lead to the degradation of rubber seals and fluid acidity if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the emissions system to ensure the carbon monoxide failure was a permanent fix rather than a temporary symptom of a failing oxygen sensor or catalytic converter. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should check for signs of perished suspension bushes and dry tyres, which often occur with age regardless of distance. The record also noted a defective nearside headlamp lens in 2022 at 49,279 miles, which should be verified for clarity and lack of internal condensation or cracking.
