Our Verdict
This 2013 Ford Focus presents a remarkably clean MOT history with five consecutive passes and zero recorded defects. Backed by below-average annual mileage for its age, it represents a very strong proposition in the used hatchback market.
When inspecting this Ford Focus, verify the physical service book alongside the MOT certificates to cross-reference the maintenance schedule. Pay close attention to the clutch biting point and listen for any suspension knocks during a test drive, as these are common areas of wear for vehicles of this era. Negotiate on the vehicle using standard checks, ensuring all electrics, air conditioning, and infotainment features function correctly.
Equipped with a 1596.0cc petrol engine, this Focus falls into mainstream insurance and tax bands typical of a family hatchback. Fuel economy is generally respectable for a 2013 petrol model, though actual figures will depend on urban versus motorway driving splits. Maintenance and parts availability for the Ford Focus are widely accessible across the UK aftermarket, keeping routine service costs manageable.
Although the recent MOT records show no defects, a physical inspection should focus on the top model failure categories for the Ford Focus: tyres, headlamps, and any signs of underbody corrosion. Check the tyre tread depths and age across all four corners, inspect the headlamp lenses for cloudiness or moisture ingress, and examine the sills and suspension mounts for rust. Confirm that all seatbelts, wipers, and braking components operate as expected.
First registered in September 2013, this black petrol-powered Ford Focus with its 1596.0cc engine has recorded 72,774 miles by its September 2025 MOT test. Its MOT history is exceptionally tidy, showing pass results with no advisories or failures logged across tests spanning from 2021 to 2025. This performance sits well above the national average MOT pass rate of 79.0% for the model.
The Ford Focus demonstrates a solid baseline reliability profile across over one million analysed UK vehicles, though buyers should remain mindful of common failure points like tyres, headlamps, and corrosion.
