2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EU63 UAL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on April 3 2025 at 45,068 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating remains in good mechanical condition. This follows a series of successful passes in 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting that the owners have consistently maintained the car to meet regulatory standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,467 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between July 2022 and July 2023, where the car covered only 3,644 miles, followed by a more active period of 3,923 miles between the July 2023 and April 2024 tests. While the low total annual mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber parts and potential fluid breakdown due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age rather than distance. Given the low mileage, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for cracking or perished rubber. The braking system requires close scrutiny for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as vehicles that sit frequently often develop rust on the discs. Although the failure on July 21 2023 at 33,195 miles was not detailed in the provided record, the immediate subsequent pass suggests a minor issue was rectified promptly. A thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion remains essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying integrity issues.
