Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific Focus, check the service history to see how the brake components mentioned in the 2023 MOT (pads and discs) were addressed. Since the most recent MOTs show no defects, ensure that any work carried out after the 2023 advisory was documented with receipts.
Given the mileage has increased significantly from 42,248 in 2022 to 79,681 in 2026, ask the seller for a breakdown of recent maintenance. Focus on checking the condition of the tyres and lighting, as these are common failure points for this model across the wider fleet.
The 1498cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for a variety of drivers. Fuel economy for this engine variant is typically efficient for daily commuting and mixed driving.
Maintenance costs for a Ford Focus are generally predictable, though you should budget for periodic replacements of consumables like brake pads and discs, which were noted as wearing thin in the 2023 inspection. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, sit in a mid-range bracket.
Pay close attention to the braking system. The 2023 MOT recorded worn discs and thin pads on both the front and rear axles; verify that these parts have been replaced and are not currently showing signs of uneven wear.
Check the windscreen for any chips or cracks, following the 2024 advisory regarding windscreen damage. Additionally, because tyres and headlamps are top failure reasons for this model according to aggregate data, perform a thorough check of the tread depth and the clarity/functionality of all light units.
This 2018 white Ford Focus 1.5L petrol has covered 79,681 miles since its first registration in June 2018. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing tests, with the most recent two tests in 2025 and 2026 recording no defects. While there were advisories regarding brakes and a windscreen in earlier years, the recent records suggest the vehicle is currently meeting standard MOT requirements.
Aggregate data from over one million vehicles shows a 79.2% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures related to tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
