2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YS62 FSD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 133,530 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of stability following a period of concern in 2023. While the car previously failed a test due to tyre-related issues and body corrosion, the subsequent passes indicate that the current owner has addressed immediate safety failures and maintained basic roadworthiness standards. At 133,530 miles over 13 years, the Focus averages approximately 10,272 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle. The mileage data shows consistent annual accumulation, with roughly 6,300 miles recorded between November 2023 and 2024, and another 6,142 miles between November 2024 and 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is not prone to long periods of stationary storage which often accelerates degradation of rubber components. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to monitor structural integrity. The January 2023 test flagged a corroded rear sub-frame that was not seriously weakened at the time, but the November 2023 report noted continued underbody corrosion. Because corrosion is an active process, you should check for scaling or thinning of the sub-frame and mounting points to ensure the rust has not progressed to a point of structural failure. The recurring advisories regarding uneven wear and low tyre tread across 2023 and 2024 suggest a history of neglecting alignment or suspension bushings. The nearside front tyre was flagged as worn on the edge in 2024, which often indicates tracking issues or worn suspension components. Inspect the front bushes and shock absorbers for play to ensure mechanical wear is not causing premature degradation of tyres.
