2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YM67 AEU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 100,742 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This stability suggests a proactive maintenance regime where the previous owners have likely addressed minor wear and tear before it could result in a test failure. The mileage profile reflects high but consistent usage, averaging approximately 12,600 miles per year over the eight-year period. There is a significant jump in usage between November 2022 (74,008 miles) and November 2023 (92,567 miles), where the vehicle covered over 18,000 miles in a single year. However, the rate has slowed considerably between the 2025 and 2026 tests, showing an increase of 2,568 miles over fourteen months. This pattern suggests a vehicle used primarily for motorway commuting, which often results in less strain than short city driving. While the MOT record is clean of recorded faults, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue, as these often degrade around the 100,000-mile mark. The brake discs should be checked for thinning or uneven wear, and the calipers should be inspected for any of fluid leaks. Given the age and mileage, verifying the chassis for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean digital history.
