Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Verify the service history for this 2.0L diesel engine, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for this model. While the MOT records are clean, ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is functioning correctly, especially if the car has been used primarily for short urban trips.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and brakes, as these are common wear items. Check for any signs of corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, which can affect vehicles of this vintage regardless of the recorded mileage.
The 2.0L diesel engine typically offers a balance of motorway efficiency and torque, though road tax for 2013 models is based on CO2 emissions. Insurance for the Focus is generally competitive, usually falling into a mid-range group.
Estimated annual costs include fuel, road tax, and insurance, alongside a budget for routine servicing. Given the vehicle's age, it is prudent to budget for the occasional replacement of suspension components, such as anti-roll bars, which are identified as common failure points for this model.
Inspect the rear registration plate to ensure it has been replaced following the failure in April 2026. While this specific vehicle has not failed for them, check the tyres and headlamps, as these are the most frequent failure points across the wider Ford Focus population.
Pay close attention to the anti-roll bar and suspension bushings during a test drive, as these are identified as top failure reasons in aggregate model data. Ensure there are no unusual noises or smoke from the diesel engine during a cold start.
This 2013 brown Ford Focus 2.0L diesel has covered 73,551 miles, which is below the model average for its age. The MOT history shows four tests since 2023, with the most recent pass in April 2026 recorded with no defects. Aside from a minor failure for an illegible rear number plate, the vehicle has a consistent record of passing its tests.
The Ford Focus has a general MOT pass rate of 79.2%, with common issues typically relating to tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
