2013 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · LS13 XPO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably consistent maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 152,208 miles passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the previous four years of clean results. This stable trend suggests that the current owner is proactively addressing mechanical requirements and wear-and-tear before they manifest as formal MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally consistent for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per annum. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 14,343 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 3,500 miles per year during that period. There are no gaps or sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate the vehicle was left stationary for long periods, which often leads to degradation of seals, rubber components, and fluid systems. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage of 152,208 necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should examine the suspension geometry and rubber bushes, specifically the control arm bushes and coil springs, as these often fatigue at this mileage regardless of previous passes. The braking system should also be checked for signs of caliper corrosion or thinning discs, as the MOT only tests for significant play rather than immediate wear. Structural integrity remains a priority, specifically checking the sills and rear wheel arches for developing surface rust that has not yet reached the threshold of a structural failure. Given the vehicle has avoided advisories for five years, the primary risks are standard age-related degradation of the drivetrain and chassis rather than systemic neglect.
