2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · EY68 FUM

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 December 2025 at 37,845 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable mechanical condition. This trend of perfection across the last five tests suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained and free from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 14,624 miles and December 2024 at 31,987 miles, the car covered 17,363 miles, which represents a slight increase in usage compared to earlier years. However, the overall figure remains significantly below the UK national average for a vehicle of this age. This low-frequency usage often reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components but can occasionally lead to component stagnation if the vehicle sits for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a buyer should focus on specific areas susceptible to low-mileage storage issues. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and dry rot, as rubber compounds age regardless of the miles driven. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs when vehicles are not driven often enough to clear away oxidation. Additionally, verify the suspension bushes and rubber boots for signs of cracking to ensure the low mileage has not masked environmental-related material failure.
