2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · MV04 ALE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend across the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 July 2025 at 47,114 miles returned zero defects or advisories. This streak of clean records suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents mechanical or structural components from reaching a failure point during annual testing. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for an eight-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per annum. Between October 2021 at 18,330 miles and October 2022 at 26,534 miles, the car covered over 8,000 miles, whereas it may have sat stationary during other periods. However, the interval between 2024 and 2025 shows a more consistent usage pattern of roughly 5,300 miles. This low mileage is generally beneficial for the drivetrain and prevents the premature degradation of various engine-related components. While the MOT history shows no failures related to structural integrity, brakes, or suspension, a buyer should still inspect for signs of dry rot in rubber components. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of suspension bushes and perished tyre sidewalls that an MOT test might not flag. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, as long periods of standing can lead to oxidation. Beyond these specific checks, the data reflects a well-cared-for vehicle that has avoided the common mechanical failures associated with higher-mileage examples.
