2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YO18 ACV

The 2018 Ford Focus stands roadworthy with a stable maintenance trajectory, confirmed by the 6 March 2026 MOT at 83,581 miles which returned a pass and no defects. Five consecutive examinations between July 2022 and March 2026 each recorded zero advisories or failures. This unbroken clean record shows the vehicle has remained within DVSA standards across its eighth year of use. Odometer readings track typical annual mileage for an eight-year-old hatchback. The car showed 49,445 miles at the 4 July 2022 test, rising to 61,524 miles by 14 July 2023, then 70,026 miles on 13 March 2024, 76,409 miles on 3 March 2025, and 83,581 miles at the latest test. That equates to roughly 10,400 miles per year with no irregular spikes; the shortest retest gap added under 9,000 miles, reflecting steady private use rather than fleet abuse. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers and discs given the age and moderate mileage, as the MOT history never flagged such components. Testers noted no corrosion or structural concerns across the record, yet underbody rust can develop unseen between tests. Verify tyre condition and wiper blades as normal consumables, and confirm service history to corroborate the absent advisories.
