2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FP13 LPK

The 2013 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 21 May 2025 at 79,443 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle carries no defects or advisories on any test, and the latest result shows a clean sheet after a same-day failure on 21 May 2025 at 79,442 miles that also recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 79,443 against an approximate 13-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,111 miles per year and reflecting typical use for the model age. The DVSA data shows 61,689 miles on 12 May 2023, 67,798 at the 20 May 2024 failure, 67,800 on the same-day 2024 pass, and 79,442 to 79,443 across the two 2025 entries. Annual accumulation holds near 6,000 to 12,000 miles with no standing gaps or abrupt surges, and the sparse clean record gives little basis to suspect deferred consumable neglect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity given the car's age and the absence of any advisory capture on the MOT record. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs at 67,798 and 79,442 miles with zero defects suggest clerical test errors rather than resolved mechanical faults, so physical verification of exhaust emissions and corrosion-prone sills remains prudent. No recurring wear items such as tyre tread, wiper blades, or binding brakes appear in the history, and the clean run from May 2023 to May 2025 implies consistent basic upkeep by prior keepers. Given the low defect profile, the principal risk lies in latent age-related corrosion or unseen suspension degradation not surfaced by the tester.
