Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (8 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 13 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Our Verdict
Exercise caution with this high-mileage 2013 Ford Focus diesel. While recent MOT tests show a clean pass record with zero recorded defects since a brief failure in February 2024, the heavy mileage demands close inspection.
Given the odometer reading of 175,412 miles, prospective buyers should thoroughly examine the service history to verify when critical components such as the timing belt, clutch, and diesel particulate filter (DPF) were last replaced. Negotiate the price based on the high mileage and potential wear on mechanical components typical for a 2013 diesel vehicle.
Ensure all electrical systems, climate control, and the manual gearbox function correctly during a test drive. Check the condition of the bodywork around the wheel arches and sills, as corrosion is listed among the top MOT failure reasons for this model nationally.
The 1560cc diesel engine in this Ford Focus typically offers strong fuel economy on longer journeys, which helps offset higher fuel expenditures if used for commuting. Insurance falls into a moderate group for this engine variant, and vehicle tax should be verified based on its specific 2013 emissions band.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle with over 175,000 miles can be unpredictable. Budget for routine servicing alongside potential repairs for suspension components, brakes, and clutch wear, bringing estimated annual running costs to around £1,200-£1,500 including insurance, fuel, tax, and maintenance.
Pay close attention to the suspension, braking system, and steering components, as high-mileage vehicles frequently experience wear in bushes, drop links, and shock absorbers. Although the 2024, 2025, and 2026 MOT tests recorded zero defects, past advisories or failures are absent only on paper; wear and tear can progress rapidly at this mileage.
Inspect the tyres for tread depth and uneven wear patterns, as tyres are the most common MOT failure reason nationally for the Ford Focus. Check the headlamps for cloudiness or alignment issues, and inspect the engine bay for any oil or coolant leaks around the 1.6-litre diesel unit.
This white 2013 Ford Focus with a 1560cc diesel engine has covered 175,412 miles as of its February 2026 test. Its MOT history shows recent stability, with straight passes recorded in 2023, 2025, and 2026, alongside a pass following an initial failure on the same day in February 2024. The recorded mileage is significantly above the national average for its age.
The Ford Focus has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 79.1% across more than one million tested vehicles, with tyres, headlamps, and corrosion serving as the top failure reasons.
