2018 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · BG18 ACO

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 9 April 2026 at 95,607 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive passes without a single advisory or failure, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a car of this age. Between the May 2021 test at 73,295 miles and the April 2026 test at 95,607 miles, the vehicle covered 22,312 miles over roughly five years. This averages to approximately 4,460 miles per year in the latter half of its life, which is significantly lower than the overall lifetime average of 11,951 miles per year. This shift suggests a change in usage patterns or a transition to shorter commutes. The absence of any recorded defects across five years is rare for a vehicle approaching 100,000 miles. There are no recurring trends regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The record implies the previous owners addressed wear-and-tear items, such as tyres and wiper blades, before they reached a failure threshold. A physical inspection should focus on items the MOT test does not comprehensively cover. Check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical intervals for this engine regardless of the clean MOT record. Inspect the condition of the cabin filters and oil quality to ensure the low recent annual mileage has not led to fluid degradation.
