Our Verdict

This 2018 Ford Focus is a reasonable buy for a budget-conscious motorist, but the 2023 MOT failure shows it has had some neglect around tyres and brakes. With four subsequent passes and no defects in the last two tests, it is currently roadworthy but warrants a careful pre-purchase inspection.

Before committing, ask the seller for proof that the June 2023 failures were properly fixed — the near-side front tyre, rear brake pads, heat shield and windscreen should all have been attended to, and the retest pass suggests they were. Confirm the service history covers the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine, as these units benefit from timely oil and cambelt interval changes even though no model-wide failure data is supplied here. Use the recorded defects to negotiate; a fresh set of rear tyres or a brake inspection receipt would add peace of mind given the earlier 'wearing thin' note.
