2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · LS13 BXV

The 2013 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 64,345 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from April 2023 through April 2025 also returned passes with no advisories or faults. The sole blemish is a failed test logged on 11 April 2025 at 60,019 miles, yet the record shows no defects against that failure and a pass was issued on the same date at identical mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 53,281 miles in April 2023, 56,448 in April 2024, and 60,019 by April 2025, rising to 64,345 in March 2026. That equates to roughly 3,700 to 4,300 miles per year, well below typical use. The clean consecutive passes with zero advisories suggest the previous keeper maintained the car to a basic standard and avoided major wear, though the low annual distance also implies long stationary periods that can encourage corrosion and perished rubber components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record captures no advisories but does not confirm freedom from early-stage rust on sills or subframes. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks given the vehicle's age and intermittent standing, since these items degrade with time as much as mileage. The duplicated 11 April 2025 entry should be verified with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect sits behind the failed-then-passed same-day outcome.
