2013 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · EO13 YKM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 11 September 2025 at 87,709 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failure exactly one day prior to the successful tests. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the inspection only to pass the following day with no recorded defects. This suggests the previous owner engaged in reactive maintenance, addressing faults only when they threatened legal compliance rather than preventing them through a proactive service schedule. The mileage profile is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,750 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 79,954 miles and September 2025 at 87,709 miles, the car covered 7,755 miles, indicating low to moderate annual use. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber suspension bushes and seized brake calipers. The consistent intervals between tests suggest the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the suspension and braking system, as the MOT history does not specify the exact faults that caused the initial failures. Focus on checking for corrosion in the rear arches and structural sills, which are common weak points for this generation of Ford Focus. Since the records do not list the specific reasons for the one-day failures, it is vital to verify the invoices from the 2024 and 2025 tests to understand what parts required replacement to achieve the subsequent passes.
