2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · CU63 OPH

The 2013 Ford Focus presents a stable and currently roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 August 2025 at 159,126 miles with zero defects recorded. This flawless pass marks the fifth consecutive clean test, demonstrating a consistent maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating or resolving pattern. The absence of advisories or failures across the last five years suggests the previous owner addressed wear items proactively, keeping the vehicle compliant with minimal rectification required at each annual inspection. The mileage accumulation reveals a distinct shift in usage patterns over the last five years. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the Focus covered 19,206 miles, escalating sharply to 27,457 miles by September 2023. This intense usage dropped significantly thereafter, with the vehicle traveling 11,681 miles in the following year and just 7,024 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. While the overall average of roughly 12,240 miles annually remains high for a vehicle of this age, the recent tapering of mileage suggests a change in ownership circumstances or a reduction in daily commuting distances. Despite the clean MOT record, the high cumulative mileage warrants a thorough physical inspection of structural and mechanical components. A buyer should closely examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as high-mileage Focuses frequently suffer from premature wear in these areas. Brake discs and pads require close scrutiny for lipping and wear, alongside a check for any binding calipers that might not have triggered a failure but could cause drag. Given the vehicle's age, an assessment of the underbody and sills for corrosion is essential, alongside verifying the condition of the exhaust system and ensuring it remains compliant with emissions standards without blowing.
