2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · CU13 XDV

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT on 23 January 2026 at 126,792 miles, which recorded no defects. This indicates a positive improvement in maintenance compared to the previous year. The testing history shows a transition from resolving mechanical issues to a clean pass, suggesting that the faults identified in earlier tests have been addressed. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,753 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 104,517 miles in January 2023 to 126,792 miles in January 2026. This regular usage pattern suggests the car has been driven frequently enough to avoid the issues associated with long periods of standing, such as seized components or perished rubber. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering systems. The records show a recurring pattern of wear in these areas, with the January 2023 test flagging a nearside front suspension arm ball joint and the January 2024 test noting play in the nearside steering rack inner joints and track rod end. Although the January 2025 test initially failed due to headlamp aim and bulb issues, it also flagged worn trailing arm bushes on both rear suspension components. While the January 2026 test was clear, the history of bushing and joint wear suggests that the suspension geometry and rubber components should be closely inspected for any signs of premature degradation or loosening.
