2018 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · AV18 OLN

The 2018 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 April 2025 at 42,780 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean sequence of annual examinations. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the tested scope. Mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car at 42,780 recorded miles, averaging roughly 5,348 miles per year. The record shows steady annual accumulation: 24,526 miles at the 31 March 2022 test, 32,084 miles on 17 April 2023, 37,615 miles on 10 April 2024, and 42,780 miles on 9 April 2025. A duplicate entry exists for 17 April 2023 where the car first failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, likely an administrative DVSA anomaly rather than a genuine fault. The sparse, clean data gives no evidence of neglect or abrupt usage changes. Given the absence of flagged defects, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not always captured at test: brake disc thickness, suspension bushes, and coil spring condition. Low annual mileage combined with the 2023 same-day fail-pass suggests the car may have stood idle for periods, raising the risk of perished rubber components or surface corrosion unseen during a pass. Verify the underside for structural rust and check tyre sidewalls for cracking from prolonged storage.
