Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a high-mileage diesel hatchback. The recent MOT history is notably clean, though the mileage is significantly higher than the model average.
Given that this vehicle has covered over 100,000 miles, you should verify the service history specifically regarding the diesel engine's timing belt (cambelt) and water pump intervals. For a 1.6L diesel engine of this age, these are critical maintenance items that may be due if not already addressed.
During your inspection, check for any signs of the common model issues noted in aggregate data, such as tyre wear or headlamp clarity. Because the mileage is high, also inspect the suspension components and exhaust system for any signs of premature wear or corrosion that might not have triggered an immediate MOT failure.
As a 1560cc diesel, this Focus is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, likely offering competitive fuel economy for its class. Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 1.6 diesel Focus are generally moderate, making it a practical choice for commuters.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for higher due to the vehicle's age and mileage. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, high-mileage diesel engines can require more frequent attention to components like fuel filters, EGR valves, and suspension bushings. Estimated annual running costs typically fall between £1,200 and £1,500 depending on usage.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and lighting systems, as these are the most frequent failure points for this model across the wider dataset. Check that the headlamps are clear and not significantly oxidised, as this is a common aggregate failure reason.
Additionally, because the vehicle has reached the 105,000-mile mark, inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion. While this specific vehicle has had no recorded corrosion failures in its recent history, it remains a top failure reason for the Ford Focus model in general.
This 2013 red Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi has covered 105,138 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. While the mileage is substantially above the aggregate annual average of 6,879 miles, the vehicle has maintained a consistent passing record. The most recent test in late 2025 showed no defects, following a series of clean passes since 2022.
The Ford Focus shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.0% across the analysed dataset, with common failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and corrosion.
