2013 Ford Focus Zetec Tdci 1.6L Heavy oil · FE13 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection on August 4, 2025, where it passed at 161,714 miles with no recorded defects. This follows a failure just one month prior on July 9, 2025, at 161,498 miles, though the record indicates no specific defects caused that failure, suggesting an administrative error or a minor issue rectified immediately before the successful retest Since the 2022 test, the car has maintained a clean passing record without advisories for mechanical failure or structural degradation. At 161,714 miles, this 2013 Ford Focus has accumulated significant mileage, averaging approximately 12,440 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the last years, with 19,085 miles covered between April 2022 and June 2023, and another 17,066 miles between June 2023 and July 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used for regular long-distance commuting, which often benefits diesel engine components compared to short-trip city driving, but it also accelerates wear on high-mileage drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, given the high mileage and the nature of the Focus platform. Specifically check the condition of the rear suspension bushes, arm links, and coil springs, as these frequently perish at this level of travel. Examine the brake discs for signs of deep pitting or uneven wear and test the calipers for binding or leaking. While the MOT history is clean of structural failures, a thorough check for corrosion on the sills and subframe points is necessary to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis has not been compromised by thirteen years of exposure to the elements.
