2013 Ford Focus Zetec Tdci 1.6L Heavy oil · IRZ 1009

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 166,325 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This consistent streak of clean certificates suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a functional standard, preventing the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in high-mileage diesel engines. The mileage pattern reflects high but consistent usage, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year over its 13-year life. Data shows steady accumulation between tests, such as the 11,097 miles covered between January 2024 and March 2025, and another 11,087 miles between March 2025 and April 2026. This regularity indicates the car has likely been used for regular commuting rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine health and fuel system integrity despite the high figure on the odometer. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to age-related wear. A buyer must specifically check the front wish arms and rubber bushes for tearing, as these frequently perish on Focus models of this era. Particular attention should also be paid to corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust system, alongside ensuring the brake discs are not thinning or showing signs of excessive pitting despite the clean MOT history.
