2018 Ford Focus 1.5L Petrol · BD68 RVP

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state having passed its most recent inspection in July 2025. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, as the car achieved clean passes for three consecutive years between 2021 and 2024. The most recent test at 40,079 miles introduced minor advisories related to tyre condition, which represents consumable wear rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a visible increase in usage between October 2023 and July 2025, where the car covered over 12,700 miles in twenty months, compared to previous annual increments of roughly 5,000 to 7,000 miles. This shift from intermittent use to more frequent driving is generally beneficial for the drivetrain and suspension components but can sometimes lead to accelerated rubber degradation or corrosion if the vehicle previously sat for long periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment upon person, as the 2025 advisory noted front inner tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edge. This often indicates incorrect camber settings or worn suspension bushes that require adjustment to prevent premature tyre failure. The offside rear tyre should be monitored for further damage to ensure the recorded cut does not compromise the structural integrity. Given the low mileage, a physical check of the brake discs for pitting or corrosion is also advisable, as underused vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust on the braking surfaces.
