2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FP13 MTO

The 2013 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 18 November 2025 at 75,519 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came on the same day as a failure logged at identical mileage with no defects recorded, mirroring a similar pattern in November 2024 where a failure at 71,002 miles preceded a pass at 71,019 miles. These paired entries suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults, as no defects appear on any certificate in the chain. The odometer shows 75,519 miles against thirteen years of age, a low average of roughly 5,809 miles per year. Annual accumulation stayed gentle: 65,800 miles in November 2023, 71,019 by November 2024, and 75,519 by November 2025, giving under 5,000 miles added in the last two years. Such low use can mean prolonged standing periods, which often accelerate rubber perishing and surface corrosion even when the drivetrain sees little load. The clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables, though sparse advisory data limits insight into wear trends. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely static intervals. The DVSA history flags no structural integrity issues or exhaust emissions failures, yet the absence of advisories across three passes means hidden wear may simply have gone unrecorded. Verify underbody condition for corrosion and check tyre sidewalls for cracking from low-mileage storage. Given the repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles with zero defects, previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline without obvious cost-cutting on recorded items. The low mileage implies lighter mechanical strain, but a pre-purchase check of binding calipers and flexible hoses remains sensible on a car of this vintage.
