2013 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · LL63 YED

The 2013 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 49,290 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly is a failed entry logged on 4 September 2024 at 45,326 miles carrying no defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, which points to an administrative or process error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage record shows light use for a thirteen year old vehicle. From the 5 September 2022 test at 38,382 miles, the car covered just 10,908 miles over the following three years, averaging roughly 3,636 miles annually. The gap between the 2023 test at 41,745 miles and the 2024 test at 45,326 miles is only 3,581 miles, and a further 3,964 miles to the 2025 test. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods are likely, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop even where the odometer stays low. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as prolonged inactivity accelerates degradation of these parts without triggering MOT advisories. The DVSA history shows no recorded structural rust, exhaust emissions failures, or binding brakes, so no recurring mechanical trend demands correction. The clean sheet across five years implies the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test, but the 2024 duplicate entry warrants a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm the failure was a clerical artefact.
