2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · RO18 MKZ

The 2018 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 April 2026 at 42,862 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT results across the vehicle's life. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, indicating the car has not required corrective work within the test regime. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 21,957 miles at the 21 April 2022 test, rising to 27,613 miles by 14 April 2023, 32,942 miles on 5 April 2024, 38,935 miles on 17 April 2025, and 42,862 miles on 9 April 2026. That equates to roughly 5,300 miles per year with no gaps or sudden jumps. The evenly spaced annual tests and gentle yearly increments suggest careful, light use rather than prolonged standing or neglected storage. A clean MOT history with zero advisories means the tester raised no concerns on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any stage. The previous owner clearly kept the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA inspection thresholds each year. Such a record implies disciplined servicing rather than deferred consumable replacement. Despite the spotless record, a buyer should still verify in person that the low mileage has not masked age-related perishing of rubber components, tyre sidewalls, and brake hoses. Stand the car and inspect subframe and sills for early corrosion, and confirm the cambelt interval for the engine is met by date as well as mileage. The MOT proves compliance, not perfection.
