2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YM67 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean record following a single historical failure. The most recent test in November 2025 at 103,091 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows two years of clean results in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical and structural integrity without recurring issues over the last three years of testing cycles. The mileage pattern indicates high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year. A significant surge in usage occurred between September 2023 at 73,458 miles and July 2024 at 96,430 miles, representing over 23,000 miles driven in under ten months. Since that period, the car covered another 6,661 miles prior to the November 2025 test. This high rate of accumulation suggests frequent motorway or commuter use, which typically places consistent stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. While the MOT history shows no current mechanical faults, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear items. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension arms, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often degrade rapidly after six figures. Given the previous failure in November 2022 which was rectified immediately, it is also prudent to inspect the brake disc thickness and check for signs of binding calipers to ensure the braking system is not nearing the end of its service life.
