2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YM67 AEO

The 2025‑11‑10 MOT at 86,613 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. Since the 2022‑10‑11 test at 62,785 miles, each subsequent annual inspection has produced a pass with zero defects, indicating consistent mechanical condition and no worsening of any previously noted issues. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old Ford Focus, averaging roughly 10,800 miles per year. The interval from the 2022‑10‑10 failure (62,781 miles) to the 2022‑10‑11 pass (62,785 miles) reflects a minimal 4‑mile increment, after which mileage rose to 77,607 miles by 8 December 2023, a gain of about 14,800 miles in just over a year, then to 83,134 miles by 14 December 2024 and finally to 86,613 miles by 10 November 2025, demonstrating steady accumulation without abrupt spikes. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, and examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, as these components commonly show signs of use on high‑mileage Focus models. Particular attention to structural rust around the wheel arches, sills and chassis joints is advisable, given the vehicle’s age, even though the MOT history recorded no corrosion advisories. While the documented tests suggest a well‑maintained car, an in‑person assessment of tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and exhaust emission levels will confirm that consumable wear remains within acceptable limits and that no hidden structural concerns exist.
