2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Petrol · AF68 RWZ

The 2018 Ford Focus presents a stable and unremarkable roadworthiness record. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 36,066 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's life. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no recurring advisories. Annual tests from 2021 through 2025 document consistent low usage. The car covered 13,534 miles by 28 September 2021, rising to 17,057 by 21 September 2022, 19,806 by 27 September 2023, 27,374 by 12 September 2024, and 36,066 by November 2025. That averages roughly 4,500 miles per year against an eight-year age, confirming light operation with no abrupt mileage spikes or dormant gaps between tests. The DVSA data carries no flagged corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns at any stage. A clean MOT history does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Low mileage combined with the 2024 to 2025 jump of nearly 9,000 miles suggests the car may have stood idle before heavier recent use, so check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for degradation from prolonged storage. Verify underbody structural integrity for trapped moisture corrosion and confirm tyre sidewall condition given the standing periods. Given the absence of recorded advisories, previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to test standard. The buyer should still commission an independent pre-purchase examination of drivetrain seals and exhaust emissions to validate the paper record against actual mechanical state.
