2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · CF13 LDL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-25 at 127,522 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, prior tests in 2026-02-17 (127,438 miles) and 2025-02-14 (114,744 miles) both failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential inconsistencies in pre-test preparation or minor unresolved issues. The absence of defect codes in the latest test implies corrective actions were taken, but the repeated failures without specific findings raise questions about the reliability of the maintenance history. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 9,800 miles, aligning with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle. A notable jump from 105,260 miles (2024-01-25) to 114,744 miles (2025-02-14) reflects a 9,484-mile accumulation over 13 months, followed by a 12,778-mile rise to 127,522 by 2026-02-25. These figures suggest regular use but no extreme wear patterns. The sparse defect records, however, limit insight into mechanical degradation, leaving potential issues in suspension, braking, or corrosion unverified. Buyers should prioritise a hands-on inspection of the suspension system, particularly for worn bushes or coil springs, and check brake components for uneven wear or corrosion. The absence of structural rust reports is positive, but a thorough underbody assessment is advisable. Given the lack of detailed defect data, confirming the vehicle’s service history and verifying repairs for the 2026 failures through invoices or mechanic logs would provide greater assurance of its mechanical integrity.
