AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2013 Ford Focus passed its most recent MOT test on 29 August 2025 at 86,588 miles with no recorded defects. However, the vehicle failed its MOT test on 28 August 2025 at the same mileage, which is unusual. This suggests a maintenance trend that is unstable or potentially worsening. The test results do not provide specific details on the cause of the failure, but it is likely that the vehicle's condition has deteriorated since the previous test. The recorded mileage of 86,588 miles at the time of the last test is typical for a vehicle of this age, with an average annual mileage of approximately 6,661 miles. The mileage pattern does not reveal any significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulation, suggesting that the vehicle has been used consistently over the years. However, the fact that there are only five MOT records available, spanning over two years, means that the data is somewhat sparse. It is worth noting that the vehicle's mileage increased by approximately 5,330 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and by 5,332 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brakes in person, as the recent failure of the MOT test suggests potential issues with the braking system. The vehicle's suspension and steering components should also be examined, as the test results do not provide specific details on these areas. Additionally, the vehicle's exhaust emissions should be checked, as the test results do not provide any information on this aspect. Furthermore, the buyer should look for any signs of corrosion or rust on the vehicle's body and chassis, as these can be indicative of more serious structural issues. In light of the recent failure of the MOT test, it is essential for the buyer to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle's condition before making a purchase. This will help to identify any potential issues and ensure that the vehicle is roadworthy. It is also worth noting that the vehicle's maintenance history suggests that the previous owners may not have prioritized regular maintenance, as evidenced by the failure to address the recent MOT test failure.
