Our Verdict
A solid, low-tax option for city driving, provided you can verify the service history. While the MOT history is remarkably clean of defects, the mileage is becoming significant for a small 1.0L engine.
Your primary focus should be the service history of the 1.0L EcoBoost engine. At over 100,000 miles, it is critical to check for evidence of regular oil changes and whether the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced according to Ford's intervals, as this is a costly but vital maintenance item.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service requirements. Since the last MOT was in April 2024, check if the car has had a recent interim service. Ensure all documentation for the 102,054 miles is present to justify the asking price against lower-mileage examples of the same year.
The 998cc engine is designed for efficiency, placing this vehicle in a low road tax bracket and a reasonable insurance group. Fuel economy should be strong for urban commuting, making it an affordable daily driver.
Annual costs will be dominated by insurance and the necessity of preventative maintenance for a high-mileage small engine. Expect typical wear-and-tear costs for tyres and brakes given the 100k+ mileage.
While the MOT history shows no recorded defects—which is rare for a 2013 vehicle—you should still manually inspect the suspension and brake discs for wear, as these often degrade before they trigger an MOT failure.
Check the engine bay for any signs of coolant leaks or oil seepage. Given the black paintwork, inspect the bodywork closely for stone chips or scratches that may have been overlooked but could affect the car's long-term valuation.
This 2013 Black Ford Focus is powered by the economical 998cc petrol engine and has reached 102,054 miles. The MOT history is impressive for its age, with no recorded defects during the most recent tests in 2022, 2023, and 2024. It presents as a well-maintained example of a popular hatchback, though the high mileage warrants a closer look at mechanical wear.
The Focus is generally regarded as a versatile and capable hatchback, though the 1.0L petrol variant requires strict adherence to service schedules to maintain reliability.
