2013 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · RE63 WMW

The vehicle currently presents a good roadworthiness status with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 79,241 miles resulted in a clean pass, marking an improvement over the minor cosmetic defects noted in the previous year. This transition from minor failures to a zero-defect record suggests the current owner is addressing outstanding minor issues and maintaining the vehicle to a standard that meets basic legislative safety requirements. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent and aligns with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between January 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 42,278 miles, moving from 36,963 to 79,241 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the car is not suffering from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to brake corrosion in low-mileage vehicles. However, the low annual mileage for a 13-year-old Focus requires close attention to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids regardless of distance traveled. A physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related wear rather than mileage. While the MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion or mechanical failure, the buyer should check the rear arches and suspension mounting points for rust, given the vehicle's age. The 2024 failure regarding an insecure side repeater and missing mirror cover indicates a history of minor exterior trim neglect, so the buyer must ensure all external plastics and lighting fixtures are securely fastened and functional. Checking the tyres for sidewall cracking is also advisable, as low-mileage cars often suffer from rubber hardening over a decade.
