2018 Ford Focus 2.3L Petrol · AY18 MYM

The 2018 Ford Focus is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance record; the most recent MOT on 29 September 2025 recorded 2 366 miles and reported no defects. The vehicle has passed every test since 2021, indicating consistent compliance with DVSA standards and no emerging mechanical issues. Mileage accumulation has been minimal, rising only 193 miles between the March 2022 test (2 127 miles) and the September 2025 test (2 366 miles). This equates to roughly 65 miles per year over the last three years, a figure well below typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The test schedule shows a gap between March 2023 and September 2024, after which annual checks resumed, but the low mileage trend remains unchanged throughout. Although the MOT history is clean, a buyer should still inspect key areas that can be affected by low‑usage storage. Check tyre tread depth and pressure for uneven wear, examine brake discs and pads for corrosion or glazing, and assess suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or oil leaks. Inspect the exhaust system for rust perforations, the underbody for corrosion spots, and the battery terminals for sulfation. Verify coolant and oil condition, as extended idle periods can lead to degradation. A visual scan for rust around wheel arches and the sill plates will reveal any long‑term storage damage not captured by the MOT tests.
