2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · CU63 FBE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent MOT test on 27 May 2025 at 105,237 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately by the owner, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining the vehicle's legal roadworthiness standards. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 79,982 miles and May 2024 at 96,125 miles, the car covered roughly 16,000 miles, showing a steady pattern of use rather than long periods of stagnation or heavy commercial strain. This usage profile typically implies that drivetrain and suspension components have been under regular operation, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and seals often seen in vehicles that sit stationary. Given the clean history without recurring structural advisories, a buyer should focus on common wear points inherent to a Focus of this age. At over 105,000 miles, the physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the rear arm bushings and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue on this chassis. While the record shows no binding calipers or exhaust corrosion, the tester should check for uneven brake pad wear and the integrity of the subframe to ensure surface rust has not progressed into structural thinning.
