2013 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · WA13 TGF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 116,365 miles passed despite a non-excessive oil leak and multiple tyre wear issues across both axles. While the car consistently passes its tests, the recurring nature of tyre and suspension-related advisories suggests the owner only addresses faults once they reach a legal limit or a failure threshold. The mileage profile shows a consistent usage pattern, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is typical for a 13-year-old vehicle. However, there is a significant surge in usage between March 2025 at 86,734 miles and March 2026 at 116,365 miles, representing nearly 30,000 miles driven in a single year. This rapid acceleration has placed high stress on wear components, which likely explains the transition from minor brake pitting to immediate tyre failures noted in the most recent records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system. The 2024 failure due to excessively worn trailing arm bushes and corrosion on the top strut brace indicates that the rear suspension components are prone to environmental degradation. Furthermore, the history of pitted and scored brake discs noted in 2025 suggests the braking hardware may be nearing the end of its effective life. The oil leak identified in March 2026 also requires a physical inspection to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a more significant seal failure that could worsen over time.
