2013 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FL13 HTZ

The 2013 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 10 March 2026 at 75,334 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle carries no recorded defects across its last five tests, and the most recent failure on 13 February 2026 at 75,274 miles shows no defects logged, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 75,334 against a 13-year-old car, equating to roughly 5,795 miles per year and confirming light use for the age. The gap between the 30 May 2024 pass at 71,684 miles and the 2 June 2025 failed-then-passed pair at 74,145 miles shows only 2,461 miles added in just over a year. A further 1,189 miles accrued by the February 2026 failure and March 2026 pass, consistent with minimal standing or short urban trips rather than sustained motorway wear. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across all entries suggests no escalating mechanical risk in the official data. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, given the low mileage may mask prolonged damp standing. Verify the February 2026 failure cause with the test station, as the nil-defect record offers no technical explanation for the rejected certificate.
