FORD FOCUS2018 · 1.0L Petrol

The 2018 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 43,846 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Across five consecutive annual examinations from June 2021 to April 2025, the vehicle passed every time with no advisories or failures logged. This unbroken clean record indicates consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards and no escalating mechanical concerns. Annual mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 28,260 miles at the 21 June 2021 test, rising to 29,528 by 13 May 2022, 34,165 by 11 May 2023, 38,500 by 18 April 2024, and 43,846 by April 2025. That averages roughly 3,900 miles per year between tests, well below typical use. The sparse, defect-free history gives little to interrogate, though prolonged standing implied by low mileage can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity. The MOT data flags no structural integrity issues or exhaust emissions failures, yet DVSA tests do not strip components. Check underneath for corrosion on subframes and sills, and verify tyre sidewalls for cracking from storage. Previous owners clearly kept the Focus to a basic but sufficient test-pass standard. No recurring faults appear in the advisories column across the timeline. Treat the clean record as a positive baseline rather than a substitute for a pre-purchase mechanical assessment.
