2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · CU68 YDJ

The current vehicle is rated as roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a lack of consistent maintenance, with the most recent test on 2026-03-10 failing to pass at 38,817 miles. This failure represents a significant gap from the previous successful tests on 2025-03-14 and 2023-11-30, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped between the 2025 and 2023 records. The test on 2022-12-06 passed at 20,040 miles, which is consistent with the 2023 test, implying that the 2025 failure was likely due to wear on consumables rather than a structural problem. The mileage accumulation pattern reveals a distinct trend of rapid growth over the past two years, with the 2025 test at 32,847 miles and the 2023 test at 26,309 miles. This acceleration is more pronounced than the previous year's growth, indicating that the vehicle may have been driven less frequently or that engine oil consumption is a contributing factor. The lack of a 2024 test record means the 2025 failure at 32,847 miles is the most recent and definitive data point for assessing the current state of the engine and drivetrain. A buyer should inspect the car for binding rear brakes and the condition of suspension bushings and coil springs, as these components are prone to failure after 10,000–15,000 miles. The 2025 record confirms that the brakes have been failing, which is a serious structural risk that requires immediate professional assessment before the vehicle is sold.
