2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YS18 ACV

The 2018 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 2025-11-10 at 181,783 miles. Every annual examination from September 2023 through to November 2025 returned a pass with no defects or advisories logged by the tester. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history, and the maintenance record suggests consistent statutory testing without outstanding issues. Mileage stands at 181,783 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 22,700 miles per year and marking the car as high-use for its class. The records show 122,203 miles at the September 2023 test, rising to 154,284 by November 2024 and 181,783 by November 2025, a steady accumulation of around 27,000 to 30,000 miles annually. A single anomaly appears on 2022-05-19 where the tester issued both a fail and a pass at 101,617 miles with no defects recorded, likely an administrative duplication rather than a genuine fault. Beyond that, the sparse but clean dataset gives no evidence of prolonged standing or neglected intervals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the sustained high mileage, as worn consumables may not yet have triggered advisories. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity flags in the DVSA record is favourable, though underside rust and exhaust condition warrant physical verification. Drivetrain components have covered substantial distance and merit a road test to confirm clutch and gearbox operation under load.
