2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · XL62 LEW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 22 October 2025 at 135,255 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed upon retest days later, suggesting that the previous owner addressed specific defects only when prompted by the tester rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 118,386 miles and the October 2024 test at 126,196 miles, the car covered 7,810 miles. The subsequent year saw 9,059 miles recorded before the October 2025 test. This steady usage indicates regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which would typically compromise rubber seals and cause internal corrosion. A buyer should focus inspection on the components that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided data does not list the specific reasons for those initial declines. Given the age and mileage of this Ford Focus, a close inspection of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs is essential to check for common points of wear. One should also verify the structural integrity of the sills and rear subframe to ensure that corrosion has not reached a critical stage despite the clean pass on the most recent certificate.
