Ideally yes, but its not "bad" either, possibly a higher load test with high beam would drop it further closer to 13V which you could then deem as bad. The loom does gradually increase in resistance with corroded compression connections. Most cars work fine with a bit of resistance, but gradually they will run into slow charging + short journerys and battery damage and dim lights.
