2013 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · SW62 BWV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 09 July 2025 at 89,144 miles. Although the record shows a technical failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately to secure a pass. Since June 2022, the car has maintained clean passes without advisory notices, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep. The mileage profile is consistent with low-average usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between June 2022 (41,549 miles) and June 2023 (61,095 miles), where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in twelve months. However, usage has slowed significantly since, with only 28,049 miles covered over the final two years. This pattern of use suggests that components, such as rubber bushes and seals, may degrade due to age and oxidation rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and braking system, as the vehicle's age makes it prone to perished rubber components and seized brake calipers despite the low mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, the structural integrity of the under-body sills and wheel arches must be checked for hidden corrosion. Given the gaps between some tests, verifying the condition of the fluid levels and the state of tyre development is essential to ensure the car has not sat for long periods between tests.
