2013 Ford Focus Zetec Tdci 1.6L Heavy oil · IXZ 1008

The 2013 Ford Focus Zetec TDCI demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-27 at 94,630 miles resulting in a pass and no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-09-13 at 94,427 miles showed a fail despite no defects listed, raising questions about the test outcome’s accuracy or compliance. The prior tests from 2024-09-12 (91,805 miles) and 2023-04-08 (72,954 miles) were both passes with no issues, indicating a consistent maintenance pattern. The vehicle’s mechanical state appears unremarkable, but the recent fail without defects warrants scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,279 miles annually. A notable jump from 72,954 miles (2023-04-08) to 91,805 miles (2024-09-12) suggests increased usage over 17 months, though no corresponding defects were recorded. The 2025-09-27 test at 94,630 miles confirms the vehicle remains within acceptable parameters. The MOT history lacks significant gaps or rapid wear indicators, though the absence of detailed defect reports limits deeper analysis of component longevity. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which often degrade over time, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as these are common issues in this model. Corrosion checks on the underbody and exhaust system are advisable, given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the lack of detailed defect data means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues, particularly in high-mileage areas like the drivetrain and body structure.
