2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · EN68 VSE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 19 December 2025 at 90,663 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently passed its inspections after initial re-test failures. While the record shows immediate failures on the days of testing, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests the previous owner addressed any issues promptly to ensure the vehicle met legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a Ford Focus, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 52,096 miles and the December 2024 test at 70,260 miles, the vehicle covered 18,164 miles, showing active use. Another 20,403 miles elapsed between late 2024 and late 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has been maintained for road use rather than sitting idle for long periods, which often leads to perished seals or brake fluid degradation. Since the MOT history lists no specific advisories or recurring faults, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common Focus wear points at this mileage bracket. Focus on the condition of the front control arm bushes and coil springs, which often show fatigue around 90,000 miles. Examine the brake discs for uneven ridge wear and check for binding calipers, as the record does not explicitly clear these components. Additionally, inspect the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion on the structural members that have not yet reached the threshold for an MOT failure.
