Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 157,382 miles, your primary focus should be on the mechanical integrity of the engine and gearbox. Ask for evidence of a consistent service history, as high-mileage small-capacity petrol engines like this 998cc unit require regular oil changes to prevent issues.
Negotiate based on the recent history of suspension repairs. While the 2026 MOT passed, the previous failures for anti-roll bar joints, linkages, and coil springs suggest the suspension system is under significant stress. Check that all recent work was carried out by a reputable garage and ask for receipts to confirm these specific components were replaced.
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. However, at 157,382 miles, maintenance costs may increase as components like the alternator, water pump, or clutch reach the end of their service life.
Expect typical running costs for a petrol hatchback of this age. Fuel economy should remain relatively good if the engine is well-maintained, but you should budget more for suspension and tyre replacements, given the failure patterns seen in the recent MOT history.
Pay close attention to the suspension and steering. The MOT history shows a specific trend of failures involving the nearside front coil spring, nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage, and nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint. Even though the 2026 MOT passed, you should inspect the underside for any signs of weeping shock absorbers or excessive play in the joints.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. The 2025 MOT recorded a failure due to a nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit. Ensure all four tyres have healthy tread depth and even wear, as uneven wear can indicate alignment issues or worn suspension components.
This 2013 Red Ford Focus 1.0L petrol has covered 157,382 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,826 miles per year. The MOT history shows recent failures related to suspension components and tyres, though the February 2026 test was passed with no defects after repairs. The vehicle's high usage suggests it has been a frequent driver, which is reflected in the mileage and wear patterns.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.2% MOT pass rate, with common failures often involving tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
