Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2013 Ford Focus shows a current roadworthy status following the September 2023 pass at 299,868 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test on 18 September 2023 recorded no defects after a failed attempt four days earlier on 14 September at 299,867 miles that also listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior passes on 23 February 2023 at 288,567 miles and 25 August 2022 at 275,279 miles similarly carried no advisories, so the documented condition has not worsened over the observed period. The odometer reads 299,868 miles against roughly thirteen years of age, equating to about 23,067 miles annually and placing this car well above typical use for the model. Accumulation stayed consistent rather than sporadic, with 13,288 miles added between August 2022 and February 2023, then 11,301 miles to September 2023. The MOT sequence is sparse with only five entries and a four-day gap between the September fail and pass, but no mileage jumps or dormant periods appear in the data. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the high mileage and absence of recorded advisories that might otherwise flag wear. The clean record offers no evidence of structural corrosion or exhaust emission failures, yet the two defect-free fails suggest the vehicle changed hands or was presented without full preparation. Verify the V5C and confirm the September 2023 pass reflects genuine roadworthiness before purchase.
