2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · LF18 EFY

The 2018 Ford Focus presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the five MOT tests supplied, with the most recent examination on 11 March 2026 at 71,098 miles recording a pass and no advisories or defects. From the earliest entry in March 2022 through to the latest in March 2026, every test returned a pass with no recorded defects, producing a stable, unchanging trend across the four-year window. The absence of advisories across the board means there is no documented evidence from these MOT records of recurring wear items, structural corrosion, or mechanical faults developing over time. Mileage accumulation across the recorded period sits at roughly 8,887 miles per year, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age. Spacing between the annual tests is consistent, with each interval falling within a few weeks of the March anniversary, indicating regular use rather than long periods off the road. The record begins in March 2022 at 35,430 miles and concludes in March 2026 at 71,098 miles, showing steady, linear progression of around 8,900 miles annually with no gaps or sudden jumps that would suggest inconsistent recording or clock irregularities. Because the MOT history is free from recorded advisories, there is no specific component flagged as a recurring concern to prioritise during an in-person inspection. A prospective buyer should still conduct a physical check of the usual wear items not captured on the MOT, including brake disc and pad thickness, suspension condition including coil springs and bushes, tyre tread depth and evenness of wear, exhaust integrity, and any surface corrosion on underbody and structural panels. The clean test record indicates the vehicle has consistently met minimum statutory standards, but a hands-on mechanical inspection and service history verification remain advisable before purchase, as MOT records alone do not confirm the quality of routine maintenance carried out between tests. Buying score: 72. Risk level: Low.
