Our Verdict
A practical choice for those seeking a d
Verify the specific repairs carried out in July 2026 to resolve the ABS and ESC warning lamps; ensure these were permanent fixes rather than temporary resets. Check the service records for the timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1.6 diesel engine at this age and mileage.
Confirm that the front tyres were replaced following the 2025 advisories regarding wear close to the legal limit. Negotiation may be possible if there is no documented evidence of the brake binding issue from 2024 being fully addressed.
The 1.6 diesel engine is designed for efficiency, offering lower fuel costs for long-distance drivers compared to petrol equivalents. Insurance for the Focus typically falls into a mid-range group, and road tax for a 2013 diesel is generally moderate.
Annual costs will include standard diesel fuel, VED tax, and routine maintenance. Given the vehicle's age, budget for wear-and-tear items like brake pads and suspension components, which are common for this model.
Pay close attention to the braking system during a test drive, specifically checking for any signs of the binding on the offside front brake noted in 2024. Ensure that no warning lights for the ABS or Electronic Stability Control reappear during operation, following the failures recorded in July 2026.
Inspect the tyres for even wear and check the underside of the vehicle to see if the engine and body covers mentioned in the 2025 advisories are securely fitted. General inspection should also cover the anti-roll bar, as this is a common failure point for the Focus model aggregate data.
This silver 2013 Ford Focus 1.6 diesel has recorded 106,556 miles. The MOT history shows a failure in July 2026 due to ABS and ESC faults, which were resolved for a subsequent pass on the same day. Previous tests highlight minor issues including tyre wear in 2025 and a binding brake in 2024.
The Focus has an average MOT pass rate of 79.2%, with tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars being the most frequent causes of failure.
