2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · HX55 BUX

This Ford Focus presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness record, characterized by a consistent lack of defects or advisories across several years of testing. The pass achieved on 10 May 2025 continues a stable trend of mechanical integrity, with no recorded failures or warnings since at least 2022. Such a void of reported issues suggests a vehicle that has maintained its structural and mechanical standards without the typical degradation seen in cars of this vintage. At 62,310 miles, the vehicle has covered significantly fewer miles than average for its thirteen-year age, averaging approximately 4,793 miles per year. This low annual accumulation indicates a light usage profile, which generally results in reduced wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and primary suspension components. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has avoided the heavy wear and tear associated with high-mileage commuting or intensive urban stop-start cycles. Given the absence of any flagged defects in the MOT history, the physical inspection should focus on verifying the current state of components that may not be fully stressed during a standard test. A test drive should be used to listen for any subtle knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs when traversing uneven road surfaces. Additionally, the buyer should ensure there is no steering pull or vibration at higher speeds, which would contradict the clean record of the steering and suspension systems. The braking system has remained defect-free throughout the recorded history, so the priority during a trial is confirming a consistent pedal feel and the absence of any judder under braking. A visual check of the underbody for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframe or suspension arms is advised to ensure the vehicle's structural integrity remains as high as the DVSA records imply. Ensuring the gear shifts are crisp and the clutch engagement is smooth will complete the verification of this low-mileage example.
