2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · PC07 AMY

The 2026‑05‑27 MOT at 149,399 miles confirms roadworthiness, though the vehicle carries several advisory defects that indicate ongoing maintenance concerns. The test outcome is consistent with the previous three assessments, showing a stable rather than worsening or improving trend. The mileage has risen from 127,198 miles in May 2023 to 149,399 miles in May 2026, an average of roughly 11,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 13‑year‑old car and reveals no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. Recurring advisories focus on the rear coil springs, which have been flagged as corroded in every test since May 2024, and on suspension components – rear and off‑side trailing arm bushes, rear and off‑side suspension arm pins or bushes, and the near‑side front suspension arm ball joint showing slight play. The washer fluid deficiency on both front windscreens, noted in the May 2024 failure, remains an advisory issue that should be verified. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the rear coil springs for rust penetration, examine the wear of suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, verify the integrity of the trailing arm bushes, check the front ball joint for looseness, and test the washer systems for proper spray and fluid levels, while also confirming that the structural chassis shows no hidden corrosion beyond the documented areas.
