2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · HV13 UXR

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 24 April 2025 at 101,318 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. The history indicates a highly consistent maintenance standard, as the car has cleared its last three annual inspections without a single advisory notice. While the 5 June 2024 test resulted in a failure at 96,165 miles, the immediate pass the following day suggests a procedural error or a minor rectification rather than a systemic mechanical failure, confirming that the vehicle remains in a reliable state of repair. The recorded mileage of 101,318 over thirteen years averages approximately 7,794 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a Ford Focus of this vintage. The progression is linear and logical, with no evidence of long-term storage or periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The steady accumulation of roughly 5,000 to 7,000 miles between annual tests suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commuting or general domestic duties, which is generally preferable to short-trip city driving that can accelerate engine sludge and exhaust system degradation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the components that typically show wear at this mileage threshold, even if they have not been flagged by testers. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes and the rear coil springs, as these are common wear items on this chassis that may be approaching the end of their service life. Check the inner edges of the tyres for uneven wear patterns that could indicate misalignment, and verify that the clutch biting point remains within a reasonable range. Given the clean MOT history, the primary concern is not recurring faults but the natural degradation of high-mileage consumables that are due for replacement.
