2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · BU18 VFJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on its consistent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 11 December 2025 at 94,324 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean record across the last five tests indicates that the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to repairs, as no mechanical failures or structural weaknesses have been flagged by the tester in several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between April 2023 at 64,958 miles and July 2024 at 84,679 miles, where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in just fifteen months. However, the frequency of testing has increased, with 760 miles recorded between the July and December 2025 tests suggesting the vehicle is currently being used at a regular basis rather than sitting for long periods. While the record shows no recurring advisories, a buyer should still focus on high-wear components typical of a Focus nearing the 100,000-mile mark. Inspect the physical condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these often degrade shortly after a clean MOT pass. Given the recent mileage, check the brake discs for thinning and inspect the calipers for potential binding to ensure the clean MOT history reflects the actual mechanical state of the braking system.
