2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · SC13 CYA

The overall roadworthiness status for this vehicle is poor , as the MOT record shows a clear history of failures in both 2024 and 2023, indicating a lack of consistent maintenance. The most recent test on 2024-04-11 was PASSED at 45,822 miles, but this was immediately followed by a FAIL on the same date, demonstrating that the vehicle did not meet the safety standards required for the current year and that the safety record has deteriorated. The maintenance trend is unstable , as evidenced by the consecutive FAILs in 2023 and 2024, which suggests that the vehicle has not been properly serviced for the full duration of its ownership. The mileage pattern is accelerating , with the vehicle having accumulated 45,822 miles in the past year despite only being approximately 13 years old, indicating that the drivetrain and suspension components are likely experiencing wear that is not being adequately addressed. Given the recurring faults and the lack of recent passes, a buyer should inspect the car for structural integrity, specifically checking the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion and binding. The lack of a recent MOT pass means that the vehicle has not been tested for safety in the current year, and any future driving should be undertaken with extreme caution.
