2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · VE55 ADE

This Ford Focus presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 22 July 2025 at 85,180 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This continues a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to February 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very low mechanical degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for an eight year old vehicle. Between February 2022 and February 2023, the car covered 13,729 miles. The usage remained steady until July 2024, where it reached 74,435 miles. A more recent increase is evident between July 2024 and July 2025, with 10,745 miles added in a single year. There are no erratic mileage jumps or periods of prolonged standing that would suggest hidden issues like seized calipers or perished seals. Because the MOT history is devoid of any recorded advisories, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures to flag. The absence of mentions regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. It indicates a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear items that may not trigger an MOT failure. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these consumables are not explicitly detailed in clean pass certificates. Inspect the underside for any surface corrosion that the tester may have deemed negligible, though the clean record suggests the structural integrity remains sound.
