2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · CU18 KFL

The 2018 Ford Focus presents a stable and fully roadworthy status based on the most recent DVSA test conducted on 9 March 2026 at 107,080 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Across the five available annual tests from 2022 to 2026, the vehicle passed every time with no advisories or failures logged. This clean sweep indicates the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that satisfied Ministry test requirements each year. The odometer shows 107,080 miles against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 13,385 miles per year. That is high for a small family hatchback of this age and points to regular commuting or motorway use rather than short local trips. Annual increments stayed consistent: 70,160 miles in March 2022, 84,776 in February 2023, 93,342 in March 2024, 100,598 in March 2025, and 107,080 in March 2026. No gaps exist between tests and the accumulation is steady, with no sudden jumps that would suggest auction or fleet disposal cycles. Because the MOT history carries zero advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the record gives no direct warning of hidden mechanical decay. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the subframe and sill sections for rust, as the high annual mileage will have loaded the damping and steering joints beyond what a visual test bay check always captures. Verify the condition of the front brake calipers and rear trailing arm bushes given the distance covered. The absence of repeated tyre or wiper failures shows the owner replaced consumables before each test rather than running them to the legal limit. Treat the clean sheet as evidence of disciplined upkeep, but confirm service history paperwork matches the 7,000-mile yearly intervals before purchase.
