2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MK13 SPX

The 2013 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 15 April 2026 at 49,138 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the vehicle carries a valid certificate roughly three months before today's date. Prior to that, the test on 11 March 2026 failed with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the same pattern occurred on 13 March 2025 where a fail with no defects preceded a same-day pass at 47,962 miles. The odometer shows 49,138 miles against thirteen years of age, an average of about 3,780 miles per year. This is low for a Focus of this generation and points to light use or extended periods off the road. Mileage moved from 45,322 in February 2024 to 47,962 in March 2025, then to 49,027 by March 2026, a steady accumulation of under 2,000 miles annually with no sudden jumps. The record is sparse and clean, showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. Low mileage combined with the two administrative fails suggests the car may have stood unused for weeks at a time, raising the risk of perished rubber components, stiff handbrake mechanisms, or surface corrosion unseen by the tester. Check the coil springs, subframe, and sills for structural integrity, and confirm the braking system is free from binding calipers after storage. Given the repeated no-defect failures, verify the V5C and test certificates to rule out data entry errors at the testing station. The history implies a cautious owner who kept annual mileage low, but the lack of recorded wear means consumables such as tyres and wiper blades remain undocumented and must be assessed on the day.
