2013 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · KV63 UOF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 94,203 miles passed, the tester flagged immediate concerns regarding front tyres, with the nearside and offside tyres sitting dangerously near the legal limit at 1.64mm and 1.95mm respectively. This indicates that the previous owner waits until components reach the point of failure or critical wear before addressing them. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,250 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 77,908 miles and March 2025 at 85,153 miles, the car covered roughly 7,200 miles, showing steady and predictable use. However, the low annual mileage does not protect the vehicle from the degradation of rubber components and metal fatigue, which is evident where parts are failing due to age and environmental corrosion rather than just distance driven. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system. The record shows a recurring issue with the offside front suspension arm bushes, which were flagged in 2024 and led to a failure in 2025. Furthermore, both rear coil springs were identified as corroded in 2025, suggesting the chassis and underbody components are subject to significant surface rust. The March 2026 advisory regarding low front brake pads, combined with the critically worn tyres, confirms that the vehicle requires immediate investment to meet a safe operating standard.
