2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BP67 AAV

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent passing record over the last five years. The most recent test on 9 April 2026 at 44,041 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged a front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This advisory suggests a recent lapse in basic consumable maintenance or a potential alignment issue that requires immediate attention to avoid a failure in the next inspection cycle. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The records show steady, incremental growth, moving from 21,147 miles in April 2021 to 44,041 miles in April 2026. This pattern indicates light usage rather than long periods of inactivity, which generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The absence of defects in the 2022, 2024, and 2025 tests suggests the vehicle has been kept in a good mechanical state during its period of low-intensity use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and steering geometry. The advisory regarding the tyre being worn on the edges in the 2026 test often points to uneven tread wear caused by misaligned camber or toe settings, or perhaps worn suspension bushes. While the 2023 failure for a non-functioning indicator was a minor electrical issue that was promptly rectified, the current tyre condition is the only technical concern raised in the recent history. Checking the condition of the front tyres and ensuring the steering feels precise will be essential to confirm that the wear is merely a result of age rather than a developing mechanical fault.
