2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · NL13 XTG

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend that suggests consistent attention to minor rectification items. The most recent test in March 2026 at 116,390 miles passed, though it introduced an advisory for an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This indicates a potential alignment issue or worn component that requires attention to prevent further degradation, yet the previous two years of testing showed no significant mechanical or structural failures. The recorded mileage of 116,390 miles over 13 years represents an average annual of approximately 8,953 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,500 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 7,234 miles between 2025 and 2026. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered long periods ofກັບ, which is generally beneficial for seals, rubber components, and battery health. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension geometry given the edge wear noted on the offside rear tyre in the March 2026 record. Focus on checking the rear bushes, control arms, and shock absorbers for excessive play which often causes uneven tyre scrubbing. While the history is relatively clean of serious mechanical failures like brake corrosion or exhaust leaks, the high age of the vehicle warrants a close look at structural integrity on the sills and subframe, as these areas were not explicitly highlighted in the recent advisories but remain common to this generation of Focus.
