2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FD63 UCC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 June 2025 with 145,319 miles. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that the owner addressed and rectified issues prior to retesting. The maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive preventative care, but the vehicle currently remains compliant. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,178 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 136,612 miles and the June 2025 test at 145,319 miles, the car covered 8,707 miles in nearly two years. This rate suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often leads to brake fluid degradation and internal corrosion. The consistent intervals between tests show the vehicle has been in active service under the standard annual testing schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most prone to wear at this mileage and age. Since the history does not list specific recurring failure points like leaking shocks or worn bushes, the inspector must verify the structural integrity of the rear arches and sills for corrosion, where these Focus models frequently suffer. Check the brake discs for signs of ridging and inspect the condition of the suspension bushings for excessive play. Given the high mileage, a check of the timing belt service history and water pump condition is essential to ensure the drivetrain is not nearing a mechanical failure point.
