2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BP67 AEO

The 2018 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 November 2025 at 52,909 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across five consecutive annual examinations. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,600 miles per year. The record shows 16,232 miles at the 21 December 2021 test, rising to 31,123 by 15 December 2022, 40,931 by 24 November 2023, 48,246 by 22 November 2024, and 52,909 by the 2025 test. The early years show heavier use before a clear slowdown, with under 5,000 miles added in the final twelve months. No gaps or abrupt accumulation appear in the data, and the absence of any advisories across the full history suggests consistent basic upkeep by prior keepers. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean record. The DVSA dataset shows no flagged wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, yet MOT passes without advisories do not confirm component life remaining. Given the low annual mileage in recent years, check for perished rubber, seized calipers from standing, and underbody corrosion that a visual test may miss. Focus the in-person check on tyre sidewall condition, brake binding after a road test, and fluid intervals unsupported by the MOT sheet. The history implies a lightly used, well-presented car, but verify the clutch, cambelt if due, and exhaust emissions under load before purchase.
