2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AJ67 GOU

The 2018 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 85,239 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across five consecutive annual examinations. Mileage accumulation has tracked at a typical rate for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 35,752 miles at the January 2022 test, rising to 47,837 by January 2023, 60,839 by January 2024, 73,809 by January 2025, and 85,239 by January 2026. Annual increments of roughly 11,000 to 13,000 miles indicate consistent private or light commercial use with no standing periods or abrupt high-use spikes. The DVSA data contains no advisories, failures, or flagged components across the entire history. A clean MOT ledger with zero advisories does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. The absence of recorded corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or brake disc scoring means the tester found none at each examination, but components such as coil springs, track rod ends, and subframe mounts should still be visually checked for early fatigue at 85,000 miles. Verify the odometer reading against service stamps and confirm the no-defect results match DVSA records. Given the spotless test history and ordinary mileage, previous ownership appears to have maintained the vehicle to statutory minimum standards at least. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to assess tyre sidewall condition, fluid intervals, and any undertray corrosion not visible during the annual test.
