2013 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · EF13 CXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the recent MOT history. The most recent test on October 27, 2025 at 93,650 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just four miles prior. This suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical requirements to ensure compliance. The overall trend indicates a vehicle that has maintained its structural and safety integrity over the last several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 78,696 miles and October 2024 at 88,229 miles, the car covered 9,533 miles, followed by another 5,421 miles in the year leading up to the October 2025 test. This steady rate of use is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals and suspension, as it prevents the degradation and seizing issues often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the recent passes are clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and brake components. Given the age of the vehicle and the failures noted in 2023 and 2025, it is necessary to check for uneven wear on the tyres or any signs of weeping fluid leaking on the shock absorbers. Focus specifically on structural corrosion around the sills and exhaust mounting, as these are common areas of concern for this generation of Focus despite relatively low recorded mileage.
