2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · D19 TCE

The 2013 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 87,471 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the 10 September 2024 examination at 80,411 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no escalating mechanical faults across the five-year record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,729 miles per year. The record moves from 60,701 miles on 17 August 2022 to 68,746 miles on 18 August 2023, then jumps to 80,181 miles by 3 September 2024. That final year added over 11,000 miles, above the annual norm but not extreme. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories; every pass and the single fail carry no recorded defects, so wear patterns are undocumented by the tester. The only blemish is the failure on 3 September 2024 at 80,181 miles, reversed by a pass seven days later at 80,411 miles with no defects listed either time. This suggests a clerical or presentation issue at the first centre rather than a genuine mechanical fault, though a buyer should verify the VIN and test logs. Given the clean sheet, no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion problems appear in the official history. A purchaser should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and brake discs given the age. The absence of advisories means consumable wear like tyres and wiper blades went unflagged, not confirmed sound. Standing periods implied by lower early mileage can hide perished bushes or exhaust corrosion not caught in a pass.
