2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FD62 YHB

The 2013 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 65,711 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual passes show no advisories or faults. The vehicle's mechanical history gives no indication of worsening condition or recurring defects across the observed period. Recorded mileage stands at 65,711 against an approximate 13-year age, equating to roughly 5,055 miles per year. The test on 10 February 2023 at 54,399 miles and the 19 February 2026 pass at 65,711 miles confirm a consistently low annual accumulation of around 3,700 to 4,000 miles. A single failed test appears on 12 February 2024 at 57,764 miles, yet the retest eight days later on 20 February 2024 at 57,772 miles passed with no defects noted, suggesting the failure concerned a minor or administrative matter rather than substantive mechanical fault. The clean record across all other entries reflects light use and no flagged wear on consumables or structure. Given the absence of recorded advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion, the MOT data implies the previous keeper maintained basic upkeep and the car saw gentle running. Low mileage combined with the February 2024 fail-retest pair with zero defects points to no neglected consumable replacement pattern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, verify the condition of brake calipers and exhaust emissions at the current 65,711 miles, and confirm the February 2024 failure cause through the DVSA database. The sparse, clean history offers no evidence of serious mechanical risk but does not substitute for a hands-on check of wear items the MOT may not capture.
