2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · GU13 WPL

The 2026‑03‑07 MOT at 138,120 miles recorded a pass, confirming that the vehicle met all legal requirements at that point. Earlier tests show recurring headlamp aim errors and tyre wear close to the legal limit, while a 2025 failure on a fractured offside front coil spring was remedied before the subsequent test, indicating that major mechanical issues have been addressed and the overall trend is stable rather than worsening. The mileage progression from 44,133 miles in May 2018 to 138,120 miles in March 2026 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 10,600 miles, which is typical for a 13‑year‑old vehicle. The data show no extended periods of inactivity, as MOTs have been conducted almost annually, with the exception of two tests on the same day in April 2024, suggesting consistent use and regular maintenance intervals. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the offside front coil spring and associated bushes, to verify that the previously fractured spring has been properly repaired and that no further wear is evident. Examination of brake pads, discs and calipers is advisable despite the absence of recent brake defects, given the low pad thickness noted in 2019. Tyre condition must be assessed for tread depth and alignment, as repeated warnings of wear on all four tyres indicate possible neglect of rotation or alignment. Finally, the headlamp aim and registration lamp functionality should be tested, and any signs of exhaust weep or structural rust identified, to ensure that the vehicle remains free of the structural and emission issues highlighted in earlier records.
