2013 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · N12 LRN

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 22 September 2025 at 82,191 miles. The maintenance trend remains exceptionally stable, as the car has cleared its last three annual inspections without a single advisory notice. While the vehicle failed its initial attempts in both 2023 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural issues rather than significant mechanical failures. The absence of recurring component warnings indicates a well-maintained vehicle that has avoided the common pitfalls of neglected older cars. A total of 82,191 miles over nineteen years equates to a modest annual average of approximately 4,300 miles. This low-usage profile is consistent across the provided history, with the vehicle covering roughly 4,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, followed by a slightly higher increase of nearly 6,000 miles leading up to the most recent inspection. This consistent, low-intensity usage pattern suggests the car has not been subjected to the heavy wear associated with high-mileage fleet or motorway use. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the effects of age rather than high-mileage fatigue. Although the MOT record is clean, the Aygo is prone to corrosion on the rear subframe and brake lines, which may not always trigger an immediate failure but can worsen over time. You should check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these components often deteriorate due to age and infrequent use rather than distance covered. Inspect the brake discs for signs of surface pitting or corrosion caused by the car sitting idle for extended periods, as this is a common occurrence for vehicles with this specific mileage profile.
