2018 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · DC68 DOM

The 2018 Ford Focus presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 174,427 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable across all five annual examinations. Every test from 27 September 2021 through to 2025 closed with a pass and zero advisories, which indicates the vehicle has not accumulated recurring mechanical or structural faults in the official record. Mileage stands at 174,427 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 21,800 miles per year. The odometer climbed from 61,661 miles in September 2021 to 84,590 by September 2022, then 102,320 in September 2023, 142,149 in September 2024, and 174,427 in September 2025. That steady 30,000 to 40,000 mile annual spread shows consistent high-use motoring rather than intermittent standing. The DVSA data carries no gaps between tests, yet the sparse defect list gives no insight into consumable intervention between centres. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high annual distance. The absence of advisories does not exempt a 174,000-mile Focus from imminent tyre, wiper, or binding caliper issues that a single test day will not expose. Previous keepers clearly met statutory testing but the record reveals nothing on intermediate servicing of drivetrain or corrosion protection. Given the clean MOT chain and high mileage, treat the car as mechanically sound per DVSA evidence yet subject to accelerated wear on fatigue parts. Verify service invoices for cambelt, clutch, and suspension refresh before purchase.
