2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · SF13 CFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 March 2026 at 61,057 miles. This recent pass recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a failure occurred in early March 2025 at 56,839 miles, the subsequent retest pass just eleven days later suggests the owner was proactive in addressing necessary repairs to return the vehicle to the road. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 49,375 miles and the 2024 test at 53,571 miles, the vehicle covered only 4,196 miles, showing consistent low-usage habits. Low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though infrequent use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or light corrosion on brake surfaces and exhaust during long periods of inactivity. Given the clean defect history over the last three years, a buyer should focus on components susceptible to age rather than high mileage wear. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear wheel arches and sills, as moisture can trap over time. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perishing, as rubber can become brittle regardless of distance driven. Ensure the brake discs are not heavily pitted or rusted, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust that affects performance.
