2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · DA67 FFP

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 130,750 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding pass on 15 May 2025 at 124,610 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 15 May 2025 at 124,609 miles, which the DVSA record lists with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five entries from June 2024 to November 2025, the vehicle cleared every valid examination without advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The odometer reads 130,750 miles against an eight-year service life, averaging roughly 16,344 miles per year. This is high for a 2018 hatchback and points to sustained motorway or business use rather than short local commuting. Mileage advanced from 113,432 on 4 June 2024 to 118,898 by 3 December 2024, then to 124,609 by 15 May 2025, reaching 130,750 at the November test. The accumulation is steady with no standing gaps, though the twin May 2025 entries one day apart at near-identical mileages confirm the failed-then-passed sequence rather than a rapid driving spike. Given the absence of recorded advisories across all tests, the history implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within tolerance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the front coil springs, rear suspension arms, and brake calipers, as high annual mileage accelerates wear invisible to the MOT pass criteria until failure. Examine underside subframes and sills for early corrosion, and verify the timing belt interval given the 130,750-mile count. The clean record offers reasonable assurance but does not substitute for a pre-purchase mechanical check. The high mileage demands scrutiny of clutch wear, gearbox condition, and engine mounts not captured by MOT testing.
