Our Verdict

This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage petrol Ford Focus. The recent MOT history is clean, showing no defects in the last three consecutive tests.

Given the low mileage for a 2013 vehicle, your primary focus should be on ensuring the service history matches the usage patterns. Check that the oil and filters have been changed at regular intervals, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from infrequent maintenance.

When negotiating, ask for documentation regarding the 2022 MOT failure to see what was rectified. Although no specific defect was listed in the provided data, knowing the nature of that failure will provide extra peace of mind. Check the condition of the tyres and headlamps during your inspection, as these are common failure points for this model across the wider fleet.

The 998cc engine is positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making this a cost-effective option for urban driving. Fuel economy should be relatively efficient given the small engine displacement, though real-world figures will depend on driving style.

Typical maintenance costs for a Focus of this age include regular servicing, brake replacements, and tyre changes. You should budget for these routine items, keeping in mind that the small engine may require specific parts that differ from the larger 1.6L variants.

Focus your inspection on the tyres and headlamps, as aggregate data for Ford Focus models indicates these are frequent MOT failure reasons. Ensure the tread depth is sufficient and the light housings are clear and functional.

Additionally, check for any signs of corrosion on the underside or sills, which is a known top failure reason for this model type. Although this specific vehicle has had a clean recent history, a visual check of the suspension components and exhaust system is advisable.

This 2013 black Ford Focus with the 998cc petrol engine has covered 55,038 miles as of June 2025. This mileage is significantly lower than the model average of 6,873 miles per year. While it experienced a failure in July 2022 at 34,548 miles, the subsequent three MOT tests have passed without any recorded defects or advisories.

Aggregate data from over one million vehicles shows a 79.1% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common issues relating to tyres, lighting, and corrosion.
