2013 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · CX13 WTJ

The 2013 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 October 2024 at 96,522 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 27 October 2023 at 86,151 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The owner has kept the vehicle to a consistent annual test schedule with no mechanical faults flagged across the available history. Recorded mileage rose from 61,795 miles at the 13 October 2021 test to 74,947 miles in October 2022, then 86,151 miles in October 2023, reaching 96,522 miles by October 2024. That equates to roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year over the last three intervals, above the lifetime average of 7,425 but not abnormal for a Focus of this age. The DVSA data shows only five entries and no advisories, so the record is sparse but clean; we cannot infer deferred consumable work from what is published. A failed test on 27 October 2023 at 86,151 miles sits immediately beside a passing result on the same day with no defects listed. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, though the buyer should confirm with the selling garage whether a documentation error or presentation issue caused it. No recurring suspension, brake, corrosion, or emissions problems appear in the chain of tests. Given the absence of flagged wear, the buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of standard high-mileage items not captured by a pass: front coil springs, lower arm bushes, brake disc thickness, and underbody structural integrity for rust. The clean MOT trail implies reasonable upkeep, but the 13-year age and 96,522 miles mean consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and caliper slide pins warrant hands-on verification before purchase.
