Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of a Ford Focus, primarily due to its exceptionally low mileage and remarkably clean MOT record. It represents a much lower-than-average usage profile for a 2013 vehicle.
When inspecting this specific 1.0L petrol Focus, confirm that the low mileage is consistent with the service history, as small-capacity engines benefit greatly from regular oil changes. Check the timing belt/cambelt interval, as even with low mileage, these components are often due for replacement based on age rather than distance.
Because this vehicle has a clean MOT history, you should still look for signs of long periods of inactivity, such as perished rubber seals or tyre sidewall cracking. Negotiate based on the fact that while the MOT history is clean, the service history must be verified to ensure the low mileage hasn't resulted in neglected maintenance.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger capacity Focus models. Fuel economy should be competitive for a hatchback of this era.
Typical maintenance costs for a Focus are moderate, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brakes. Given the aggregate data for this model, keep an eye on tyre wear and headlamp clarity, as these are common failure points across the wider Ford Focus fleet.
Focus on the tyres and headlamps, as these are the most frequent MOT failure reasons for this model type. Even though PN13CMX has no recorded defects, these are the areas most likely to require attention soon.
Check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of early corrosion, which is a noted failure reason in the aggregate data for this model. Additionally, with the 1.0L EcoBoost engine variant common in this year, listen for any unusual engine noise during a cold start to ensure the engine is running smoothly.
This red 2013 Ford Focus features a small 998cc petrol engine and has covered 48,953 miles as of its last MOT in March 2025. The MOT history for this specific registration (PN13CMX) shows four consecutive passes since 2022 with zero defects or advisories recorded. Compared to the model aggregate average annual mileage of 6,879, this vehicle has been driven significantly less than its peers.
The Ford Focus has a 79.0% average MOT pass rate across over one million analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to tyres, lighting, and corrosion.
