2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · KM63 HTV

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-03 recorded all four tyres as slightly damaged, cracked, or perishing, consistent with previous entries. This defect, classified under 5.2.3 (d) (ii), indicates a recurring issue with tyre condition. The same problem was noted in 2024, 2023, and 2021, suggesting a persistent risk. While no other defects were recorded in the 2022 MOT, the pattern of tyre degradation has continued annually since 2021. The trend shows stability in the nature of the defect, with no new or worsening issues reported. However, the repeated mention of tyre perishing raises concerns about potential age-related deterioration rather than mechanical wear. The vehicle’s low mileage—approximately 3,637 miles per year—may indicate infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which can accelerate tyre aging. This low usage could also mean other components, such as suspension or brakes, have not experienced typical wear but may still require inspection for long-term storage effects. The mileage context is ambiguous. While 47,287 miles is below average for a 13-year-old vehicle, it does not definitively signal light use or heavy wear.
