2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · CK67 JFU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 10 September 2025 at 41,671 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety and environmental standards. Following a failure in September 2022, the vehicle has passed three consecutive annual inspections without a single advisory or failure, suggesting consistent proactive mechanical upkeep. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2025, the car covered 14,699 miles, showing a consistent pattern of light usage. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on high-stress components like the drivetrain and suspension, though it can occasionally lead to rubber component degradation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The narrow interval between the 2022 failure and the subsequent pass at just three miles later suggests the initial issue was minor and rectified immediately. While the digital record is clean of recurring faults, a buyer should still inspect for issues associated with low-mileage operation. Vehicles that travel short distances frequently suffer from flat spots on tyres and carbon buildup in the engine. A physical check of the brake discs for surface corrosion is essential, as low use often prevents brakes from reaching temperatures sufficient to clear rust. Given the age of the Focus, verifying the structural integrity of the underbody for surface corrosion remains a prudent step, though the MOT history has not flagged any structural weaknesses to date.
