2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · KS62 TCY

The 2013 Ford Focus has a mixed MOT history, with recent corrosion and wear issues indicating potential long-term maintenance concerns. The most recent MOT on 2026-06-01 shows a passed test, but this followed a failed test just two days earlier at the same mileage (119,012 miles). The failed entry included a cut tyre (5.2.3 (d) (i)) and a non-working front position lamp (4.2.1 (a) (ii)), both of which are minor but suggest neglect. The passed MOT listed corrosion on rear coil springs and suspension arm bushes (5.3.4 (a) (i)), as well as distorted rear road wheels (5.2.2 (c) (i)), which may indicate ongoing issues with underbody components. Recurring mechanical patterns include corrosion on suspension and underbody parts, such as rear sub-frames , coil springs , and suspension arms , which have been noted in multiple MOTs since 2025. These are classified as advisories (5.3.1 (b) (i) and 5.3.3 (b) (i)), meaning they are not immediate safety risks but require monitoring. A worn front lower suspension arm ball joint (5.3.4 (a) (i)) was also recorded in 2025, which could affect handling if left unaddressed. The brake system shows progressive wear: a thin rear brake pad (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) in 2024, followed by a slightly lipped and worn rear brake disc (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) in the same year. While these were resolved in subsequent tests, they highlight the need to check brake components for excessive wear, especially given the vehicle’s age. The vehicle’s mileage of 119,012 miles (roughly 9,155 miles per year) is typical for its 13-year age, suggesting average usage.
