2013 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LP63 YVU

The 2025‑10‑10 MOT at 97,633 miles confirms the 2013 Ford Focus is presently roadworthy, with no failures and only minor advisories concerning rear sub‑frame corrosion and slight wear on the offside rear suspension component. The series of ten consecutive annual tests, all passed, demonstrates a stable maintenance record rather than a deteriorating condition. Mileage has risen from 39,836 miles in October 2016 to 97,633 miles in October 2025, averaging about 7,500 miles per year, which matches the typical usage for a 13‑year‑old vehicle; the jump of roughly 10,200 miles between the September 2023 and October 2024 tests indicates a period of increased driving, while earlier intervals remained within normal ranges. A buyer should therefore examine the rear sub‑frame and lower suspension arms for structural rust, inspect the rear suspension bushes and pins for excessive play, and verify that the rear brake calipers and discs show no binding or uneven wear, as the recurring tyre edge wear and the 2025 advisory on the offside rear suspension component suggest potential alignment or suspension issues that merit close scrutiny.
