2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · MJ13 SWU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on July 3 2025 at 151,154 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets minimum standards following immediate rectification of previous failures. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded recurring advisories suggests that the owner addresses identified mechanical faults promptly rather than allowing minor issues to escalate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 5,450 miles between the January 2024 test at 130,464 miles and the July 2024 test at 135,911 miles. Another 15,243 miles were covered between July 2024 and July 2025, indicating a period of high-frequency use which typically places significant stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower suspension and structural integrity, as the high mileage often accelerates the degradation of coil springs and control arm bushes on this model. Given the recent mileage spike, a thorough check of the brake system for signs of binding calipers or thin discs is necessary. Although the MOT record is clean of structural advisories, the age and mileage of the vehicle necessitate a close look for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches that may not be visible during a standard test.
