2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · DF67 WGC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean record following an initial failure. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 28,374 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a three-year trend of clean passes since the 2023 failure, indicating that any previous mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle currently meets minimum safety standards without recurring faults. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the car covered only 1,865 miles, suggesting infrequent use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, the long intervals between use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry. The data remains consistent and sparse, showing the vehicle has been maintained on a regular testing schedule despite the low distance travelled annually. While the MOT history shows no current defects, a buyer must physically inspect for issues associated with low-mileage vehicles. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often leads to seized calipers or corroded rotors. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as rubber compounds dry out over time regardless of the distance driven. Additionally, verify the tyres for flat spots or age-related hardening, as the tread depth may be legal while the rubber reaches its structural limit.
