2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FJ13 NPA

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 24 September 2025 at 55,282 miles which passed with no defects recorded. This completes a streak of clean passes over the last five years, showing no recurring failures or advisories. The lack of flagged faults suggests previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing potential issues before they could result in a test failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,252 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 52,130 miles and the most recent September 2025 test at 55,282 miles, the car covered only 3,152 miles, indicating very light annual use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between driving sessions can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or fluid contamination, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. Because the MOT history is immaculate, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related decay despite low mileage. You must check for perished suspension bushes and split rubber boots, which become brittle when a car sits for extended periods. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or rusted rotors. A thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is also essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying rust over the decade-plus lifespan.
