2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · SC62 OUN

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs and recurring mechanical wear. The most recent test on 4 June 2025 at 112,211 miles passed with several advisories that have persisted across multiple years. Specifically, the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and rear suspension arm bushes have been flagged for play and wear since at least January 2023, indicating that these components have not yet been replaced despite being identified as failing points early on. At 112,211 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 8,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for its age. There is a significant gap of over 17,000 miles between the January 2023 and January 2024 tests, followed by another 13,500 miles before the most recent inspection. While the mileage accumulation is steady, the repeated failures on bulbs and tyres suggest the owner only addresses issues only when necessary to pass the test rather than performing proactive preventative inspections. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the underbody and suspension geometry. The record shows a 2024 advisory for a repair to the rear integral body structure, followed by a 2025 report of general surface rust and corrosion on the rear underbody components. This progression of corrosion requires monitoring to ensure structural integrity remains sound. Furthermore, the front brake discs have been noted as pitted and scored across three consecutive years, suggesting the braking system is being neglected or the components are being run beyond their optimal service life.
