2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · SA18 HCK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 17 May 2025 at 61,493 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have likely proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could trigger a failure during annual DVSA testing. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between the March 2021 test at 29,780 miles and the May 2025 test at 61,493 miles, the car covered 31,713 miles over four years. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which is often detrimental to seals and rubber components. The lack of recorded advisories across five years suggests the vehicle has not suffered from the accelerated wear often seen in higher-mileage examples. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or recurring brake issues, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components subject to age-related degradation. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these can perish or fatigue even with low mileage usage. Examine the brake discs for signs of pitting or thinning if the car has sat between services, and verify the tyre manufacture dates. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained throughout its life cycle.
