2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FP13 LJC

The 2013 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 127,884 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in January 2025 at 115,101 miles, December 2023 at 99,493 miles, and December 2022 at 90,299 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing no worsening pattern across the recorded history. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 9,800 miles per year against the vehicle's thirteen-year life, a typical figure for the age. The record shows 12,783 miles added between December 2022 and January 2025, then 12,383 miles to February 2026, a consistent annual rate with no standing periods or sudden surges. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with five consecutive clean outcomes and no flagged consumable wear, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across the timeline. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of advisory data that might otherwise reveal early rust. The clean record offers no recurring mechanical trends to target, but coil springs, suspension arms, and exhaust emissions should be physically checked for age-related fatigue not captured by the pass results. Given the same-day fail and pass at 127,884 miles, confirm with the seller that the failure was a paperwork or lighting check anomaly with no outstanding rectification. The previous owners maintained test compliance without deferred defects, suggesting reasonable basic upkeep rather than neglected consumables.
