2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · LL63 FNW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing MOT inspections. The most recent test on 13 March 2024 at 89,501 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just eight days prior at 89,116 miles which also showed no specific defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor non-presentation item that was rectified immediately before the retest rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,885 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 65,538 miles and March 2023 at 77,096 miles, the car covered over 11,000 miles in just fourteen months, indicating a period of higher usage. However, the subsequent 12,405 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024 shows regular use, which is generally beneficial for components to prevent the degradation associated with long periods of standing. While the record is clean of recurring advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the typical wear points for a Focus of this era. Given the age and mileage, the rubber suspension bushes and coil spring mounts should be checked for cracking or fatigue. The buyer should also inspect for surface corrosion on the rear subframe and structural integrity, as the MOT record does not explicitly rule out emerging rust common here. The absence of recorded brake issues suggests the calipers and discs are currently in good condition, but a manual check for uneven pad wear or binding calipers remains advisable.
