2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · PX63 VXD

The 2025‑08‑21 MOT at 49,527 miles recorded a pass, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has stabilised after a same‑day failure that likely followed remedial work. Earlier tests from August 2024 (40,976 miles) and August 2023 (22,132 miles) also showed passes with no defects, indicating consistent compliance in recent years. The mileage pattern reflects light annual use, averaging roughly 3,800 miles per year for a 13‑year‑old Ford Focus. However, the record shows a notable acceleration: mileage climbed from 20,729 miles in November 2022 to 49,527 miles by August 2025, with the most rapid increase occurring between the August 2024 test (40,976 miles) and the August 2025 test (49,527 miles), suggesting a period of more intensive driving in the past year. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and look for structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches. Additionally, verify exhaust emission levels, assess tyre tread depth and condition, and confirm that the braking system operates smoothly without pulsation. Overall, the recent pass demonstrates acceptable current condition, yet the low annual mileage may conceal underlying wear on critical components; a thorough in‑person evaluation of the suspension, brakes, chassis integrity and exhaust system is essential before final purchase.
