2013 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · EX13 ADZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 March 2026 at 193,471 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and clean, as the record shows no recorded defects or advisories across the last three successful tests. The absence of flagged issues suggests the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is high for a 2013 model, averaging nearly 15,000 miles per year. There has been a significant increase in usage recently. Between the January 2024 test at 155,105 miles and the March 2026 test at 193,471 miles, the vehicle covered 38,366 miles in roughly two years. This accelerated wear puts additional pressure on the drivetrain and chassis compared to a lower-mileage example of the same age. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding specific faults. While the vehicle failed tests on 27 February 2025 and 26 February 2026, the records list no specific defects for those failures. This lack of detail makes it difficult to identify recurring mechanical weaknesses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical for this mileage, specifically checking for play in the suspension bushes, the condition of the coil springs, and any signs of corrosion on the structural sills. Given the high mileage and the lack of detailed advisory data, a manual check of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear is necessary. The buyer should also verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these critical components often require attention well before this mileage threshold. Inspecting the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion will confirm if the vehicle has been maintained beyond the basic requirements of the MOT.
