2018 Ford Focus ST-Line X Tdci 1.5L Heavy oil · CL04 ESO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history at its most recent inspection. The September 2025 test at 52,267 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful testing since 2022, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum regulatory standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a steady progression from 17,178 miles in June 2022 to 30,165 miles in June 2023, and finally reaching 52,267 miles by September 2025. This average of approximately 6,500 miles per year suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate the risk of perished rubber components or seized calipers often found in low-usage vehicles. The single failure recorded in May 2022 at 17,158 miles was resolved immediately, as evidenced by the passing result just two weeks later in June 2022. While the MOT history shows no ongoing trends of structural corrosion or suspension wear, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody. Focus should be placed on checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as well as inspecting the brake discs for uneven wear or pitting, given the vehicle's age and mileage. Given the clean recent history, there are no immediate red flags regarding the vehicle's structural integrity or emissions. A thorough check of the service history is recommended to complement this MOT data, specifically to confirm that oil changes and essential fluid flushes have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule.
