2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · WN63 OBX

The 27 November 2025 MOT at 113,600 miles passed, yet the tester flagged slight play in the near side front lower ball joint and an incorrectly fitted near side front tyre, indicating ongoing suspension and tyre fitment concerns. A failure on 24 November 2025 recorded the same tyre error and a headlamp aim defect, confirming that these issues remain unresolved. At 113,600 miles the Focus is about eight years old, averaging roughly 8,700 miles per year, which is typical for its age. However, mileage jumped from 93,813 miles on 18 January 2024 to 102,321 miles on 4 December 2024, a gain of 8,508 miles in ten months, indicating periods of intensive use or missed testing. Earlier intervals from 2023 to early 2024 show relatively steady accumulation with no major gaps. A buyer should therefore examine the near side front suspension components, especially the lower ball joint and steering rack inner joint for play, inspect the condition of the CV joint boots and replace any that show deterioration, verify correct tyre mounting and tread depth, and assess headlamp aim and alignment. Brake performance should be tested for binding calipers or worn discs, and the chassis should be checked for structural rust or corrosion that could affect long‑term integrity.
