2018 FORD FOCUS TITANIUM TDCI1.5L Diesel

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent July 2024 inspection at 96,715 miles. All prior tests—September 2022 (74,709 miles), July 2023 (91,509 miles), and July 2024—showed consistent compliance, indicating effective maintenance. No advisories or critical failures were noted, suggesting the owner prioritized regular servicing to sustain mechanical integrity. The mileage progression reveals a sharp increase from 74,709 to 91,509 miles between September 2022 and July 2023, averaging 16,800 miles annually, followed by a slower accumulation of 5,206 miles by July 2024. This pattern may reflect seasonal usage or periods of reduced activity, though the absence of defects in high-mileage periods implies the vehicle has not suffered undue wear. The lack of recurring issues in the MOT history suggests no systemic mechanical degradation, though higher mileage typically accelerates wear on components like suspension bushes and brake discs. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushings, which may show fatigue given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be inspected for corrosion or thinning, as these are common concerns in older diesel models. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the high annual mileage warrants a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm that critical systems remain within safe operational limits.
