2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · EN18 BYM

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 29 May 2025 at 40,260 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met all safety and emission standards without the mechanical degradation or structural corrosion often seen in older Ford models. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,000 miles annually. Between the June 2021 test at 17,576 miles and the May 2025 test at 40,260 miles, the car covered 22,684 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short local trips rather than long-distance motorway commuting. Such low mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to perishation of rubber-based parts if the car sits stationary for extended periods. While the MOT record is exemplary, an in-person inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking, and check the brake discs for surface pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the rotors from cleaning themselves effectively. The buyer should also examine the suspension bushes for cracking, as rubber components age and become out regardless of the distance driven. The lack of any recorded advisories suggests a well-maintained example, but verifying the fluid levels and chassis integrity remains a standard professional practice.
