2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · FP67 HFD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance history. The most recent test on August 4, 2025 at 37,770 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just two miles prior. This immediate success suggests a minor component issue, such as a blown bulb or sensor fault, which was rectified instantly. Since the 2022 inspection, the car has consistently passed without any advisories or failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 28,627 miles and the August 2025 test at 37,770 miles, the car covered only 9,143 miles, indicating long periods of infrequent use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or potential flat-spotting and corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended durations. Given the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage usage. A buyer should check the brake calipers for surface pitting or seizing, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning themselves. The suspension bushes and tyres should be examined for cracking or dry rot, as materials age over time regardless of the distance driven. The lack of structural advisories in the history suggests the chassis has likely been kept in a dry environment free from significant salt corrosion.
