2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · SH13 ACF

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following a successful MOT test on 9 March 2026 at 114,953 miles. While the record shows two recent failures, these were resolved prior to the passing certificate being issued. The absence of any recorded advisories in the most recent test suggests that the vehicle's primary mechanical and structural components were within acceptable tolerances at the time of inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,843 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 95,560 miles in February 2024 to 106,335 miles in March 2025, and finally reaching 114,953 miles by March 2026. This incremental growth suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway transit. The MOT history shows two instances where the vehicle failed before passing, specifically in February 2024 and March 2026. Although the specific defect descriptions were not provided in the summary, these failures indicate that the vehicle has required remedial work to meet minimum standards. A prospective buyer should verify that the repairs for these failures were carried out by a competent technician and check for any lingering issues related to common Focus wear items. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the underside of the chassis for signs of corrosion and the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. The buyer should also check for uneven tyre wear or brake disc scoring, which could indicate binding calipers or worn suspension components. Ensuring the service history matches the mileage increments will confirm whether the vehicle has received the necessary mechanical upkeep alongside these statutory inspections.
