2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · WN05 AJB

The most recent MOT, recorded on 13 December 2025 at 111,541 miles, is a clean pass with no advisory notes. Across the five entries spanning December 2022 to December 2025, every test has come back without defects, including a single same-day failure on 15 December 2023 that produced no listed faults and was resolved immediately. That failure appears administrative or trivial rather than mechanical, and the overall maintenance trend is stable. Nothing in the record suggests worsening wear on suspension, brakes, or structure. The mileage pattern sits almost exactly on the expected curve for a thirteen-year-old Ford Focus. The car covered roughly 7,300 miles between December 2022 and December 2023, then about 8,400 miles in both subsequent annual periods, landing at an average near 8,580 miles per year. This is a consistent, moderate usage profile with no sudden jumps or long standing gaps. The consistency implies regular daily or weekly use rather than heavy motorway duty or prolonged garage storage, which is a positive sign for drivetrain and tyre condition. Because the DVSA records show no recurring faults, there are no specific mechanical weak points to single out from the history. At this mileage, however, the usual wear items deserve a hands-on check that no MOT pass can fully guarantee. Look closely at the front suspension struts and bushes for dull knocking over speed humps, check brake disc lips for a deep ridge, and confirm the rear calipers are not binding after a short drive. Tyre tread is easy to verify, but also check the sidewalls for cracking, as a car of this age will be on at least its second or third set. Corrosion has been absent from all test sheets, so structural integrity appears sound, but a visual probe of the rear sills and suspension mounting points remains worthwhile on any Focus of this vintage. The paperwork suggests an owner who stayed on top of maintenance; the physical test is whether that care extended to consumables.
