2013 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · EX13 ACV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection on 15 May 2025. At 96,234 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure noted on the same calendar day. This pattern suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues to maintain the legal test. The history indicates a consistent standard of upkeep, with no recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation noted over the last three years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between September 2022 at 60,384 miles and October 2023 at 75,869 miles, the car covered over 15,000 miles in a single year, indicating a period of high usage. However, the usage rate slowed significantly thereafter, covering roughly 20,000 miles over the following twenty-two months. This varied usage pattern is generally acceptable for a Ford Focus, provided the intervals between prevented moisture-related damage to rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower suspension and braking system, as these are the primary areas where wear manifests at this mileage. While the MOT record is currently clean of advisories, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of perished control arm bushings and worn coil springs. Inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of uneven wear or binding calipers, as the record does not detail the specific state of these components beyond the pass/fail status.
