2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CE63 CFO

This 2013 Ford Focus has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over the past five consecutive MOT tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2025-07-28 at 106,163 miles confirms no outstanding mechanical or structural issues, aligning with the clean record observed since 2021. While this suggests a stable maintenance pattern, the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and braking standards at each test implies no major degradation in engine efficiency or hydraulic braking performance, though in-person verification of brake pad thickness and caliper binding would be prudent. The recorded mileage of 106,163 miles over 13 years reflects an average of approximately 8,166 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests, with each MOT occurring within a few days of the 12-month anniversary, indicating regular compliance with legal requirements. The steady mileage accumulation—rising by roughly 3,600 miles between each test—does not suggest periods of prolonged neglect or excessive wear from rapid usage. However, the lack of service records means potential for deferred maintenance on less visible systems, such as timing belt tensioners or differential fluid changes. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The absence of advisories does not rule out uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment drift or worn suspension components. Brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness and inspected for lateral runout, as repeated high-mileage use may have contributed to uneven wear patterns. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for corrosion or leaks, especially around flanges and mounting points, where rust can compromise structural integrity. A thorough check of the subframe and wheel arches for corrosion is also advisable, given the vehicle’s age and exposure history.
