2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · CE63 DPN

This 2013 Ford Focus has maintained a consistent MOT pass history with no recorded defects across six consecutive tests, most recently passing on 3 October 2025 at 97,561 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced recurring mechanical failures. However, the most recent test was conducted just under a year ago, which, while still within the 12-month MOT validity period, means the vehicle has not been formally inspected since. Given the age of the car, a pre-purchase inspection is strongly advised to verify the condition of high-wear components that may not have been flagged in previous tests. The recorded mileage of 97,561 miles over approximately 13 years equates to an average of around 7,500 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusually large gaps between tests—each MOT was conducted within the required 12-month window, and mileage increments appear steady without abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most significant mileage increase occurred between the April 2024 (82,654 miles) and October 2024 (85,510 miles) tests, covering just 2,856 miles in six months, which is consistent with regular use. The lack of advisories or failings implies that basic maintenance, such as tyre rotation and brake inspections, has likely been attended to. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension components, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are prone to fatigue and wear over 13 years. The brakes, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to moisture or driven in wet conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, should be assessed for signs of corrosion, as rust can compromise the vehicle’s safety-critical elements. While the MOT record does not indicate past issues, these areas are critical for long-term reliability and should not be overlooked.
