2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YM67 AEV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 7 May 2025 at 95,093 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in good mechanical order. The mileage accumulation is typical for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 11,887 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between the January 2022 test at 63,148 miles and the April 2024 test at 82,125 miles, where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles over a 27 month period. The most recent interval shows a further increase of 12,968 miles in just over a year. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, there are no recurring mechanical faults or structural warnings to flag. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion is unusual for a vehicle approaching 100,000 miles. A buyer should still verify the service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt intervals were adhered to, as the MOT only provides a snapshot of safety rather than a full mechanical health check. Physical inspection should focus on consumables that may not have triggered an MOT failure but are due for replacement given the mileage. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads. Given the age and mileage, a technician should verify the condition of the coil springs and check for any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox that a standard MOT tester might overlook if they do not affect roadworthiness.
