2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · L9 CYL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last three years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 106,327 miles resulted in an initial failure due to minor electrical issues involving the windscreen washer and registration plate lamp. These faults were rectified immediately, as evidenced by the pass on the same day. Prior to this, the vehicle achieved three consecutive passes with no recorded defects, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the car to safety and emissions standards. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old Ford Focus, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered 5,485 miles, followed by 5,581 miles in the subsequent year, and 7,590 miles leading into the latest test. This steady pattern indicates regular use which typically prevents premature degradation of the drivetrain and suspension components. The lack of significant gaps in the data suggests the vehicle has not sat for extended periods which could cause perished seals or fluid breakdown. While the MOT history shows no history of structural corrosion or mechanical failure, a buyer should still inspect common Focus-wear areas during a physical evaluation. Given the mileage, a close look at the rear trailing beam suspension and front control arm bushes is advisable as these often perish with age. The recent failure involved basic electrical components, so the buyer should verify the washer pump and lighting operation to ensure no further wiring loom issues exist. The clean advisory history from the previous years is a positive indicator that the vehicle has not neglected consumable items like brake components or tyre integrity.
