2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FN13 URS

The 2013 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a current clean pass recorded on 20 June 2025 at 167,157 miles. The DVSA entry shows a failed test on the same date and mileage with no defects logged, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a full pass. Across the prior three annual tests in June 2022, 2023, and 2024 the vehicle passed with no advisories or defects recorded at 145,260, 152,724, and 160,285 miles respectively. The maintenance history reflects consistent annual compliance with no outstanding corrosion, suspension, brake, or emission concerns raised by testers. The odometer shows roughly 12,858 miles added each year, a high but steady accumulation for a 13 year old car. From the June 2022 test at 145,260 miles to the June 2025 test at 167,157 miles the car covered 21,897 miles, averaging under 7,300 miles between tests. No gaps appear in the annual record and the clean sheets suggest the previous owner kept the car to basic statutory standards without deferring required presentation. High total mileage of 167,157 implies consumable fatigue even where the MOT logged no faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and distance travelled. The tester recorded no structural integrity issues or exhaust emissions failures across the timeline, yet undocumented wear on tyres, wiper blades, and binding calipers can develop between clean tests. The same day fail and pass at 167,157 miles warrants confirmation that no partial retest certificate masked a withdrawn defect. Given the sparse but unbroken pass record, the Focus shows no worsening mechanical trend. Prospective owners should budget for age related drivetrain and chassis refresh rather than defect rectification flagged by the MOT.
