AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2013 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 11 October 2025 at 100,129 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the prior three years. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no recurring advisories across the available history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,700 miles per year. The records show steady accumulation: 87,887 miles in October 2022, 92,802 in October 2023, 96,330 in October 2024, and 100,129 in October 2025. A minor anomaly appears in October 2022, where the car failed on 17 October at 87,847 miles yet passed four days later at 87,887 miles with no defects listed, indicating the failure likely involved a non-mechanical administrative or test-error matter rather than a worn component. The clean sheet across four consecutive passes means no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, or structural corrosion have been flagged by testers. That said, a vehicle of this age and mileage will have original rubber mounts and exhaust hangers nearing the end of service life even without formal advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe corrosion, rear suspension arms, and brake line condition given the car's age. The absence of recorded faults suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current, but MOT passes do not measure remaining tyre depth or intermittent electrical faults outside the test scope.
