2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · EM52 ADE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 23 April 2025 at 63,062 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean passes over the last five years suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive service schedule and that the vehicle has not suffered from significant mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 13-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,850 miles per year. Between December 2021 at 39,104 miles and April 2025 at 63,062 miles, the car covered roughly 24,000 miles, indicating light annual use. The consistent intervals between tests, often separated by roughly 7,000-mile increments, suggest a predictable usage pattern. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and brake components, it can increase the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts and fluids. While the MOT history is clean, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by time rather than just distance. A buyer should check for dry cracking in suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls, as these become brittle over a decade regardless of mileage. Given the low usage, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Checking the chassis and wheel arches for early structural rust is also essential to ensure the overall integrity of the 2013 frame remains robust.
