2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FN13 WDT

The 2013 Ford Focus presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 10 October 2022 returning a pass at 110,399 miles and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the supplied history, though the record is sparse and the vehicle has not been tested since late 2022, leaving over three years of untracked use as of today. Mileage sat at 97,272 at the May 2021 tests and rose to 110,399 by October 2022, an accumulation of 13,127 miles across roughly seventeen months, equating to near the typical 8,500 annual average for a thirteen-year-old car. A notable anomaly appears on 28 May 2021, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or data-recording error rather than a mechanical rejection. Beyond that, the clean pass results and modest yearly use imply the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. Given the absence of advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust before purchase. The long gap since the last MOT means consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition are unverified and likely due regardless of the historic clean sheet. The same-day fail-pass with no defects recorded warrants a DVSA history check to confirm no suppressed failure items exist. Otherwise, the documented pattern reflects a low-risk used purchase subject to confirmation of present condition after its extended lay-off from testing.
