2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · EY18 YJO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a recent successful MOT on 14 October 2025 at 51,383 miles. This pass followed a failure just five days earlier, which identified several immediate consumable and electrical issues. The tester flagged an incorrect offside headlamp aim, a non-functional windscreen washer, a failed offside stop lamp, and a nearside front tyre with exposed cords. The rapid rectification of these defects suggests the owner addressed necessary repairs promptly to regain legal compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. The record shows steady progress from 18,919 miles in January 2021 to the current 51,383 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of prolonged inactivity evident in the data. The progression from 44,699 miles in October 2024 to 51,383 miles in October 2025 shows a standard annual increment, indicating regular, predictable road use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking components, as these have appeared repeatedly in the MOT history. The January 2024 test at 42,030 miles noted a corroded nearside rear coil spring and a tyre worn to the legal limit. While the most recent tests show no current defects, recurring issues with brake pads in 2022 and 2023, alongside the 2024 spring corrosion, suggest that wear-and-tear items require frequent monitoring. The recent failure regarding the nearside front tyre with exposed cords indicates that while the car is maintained, the owner may occasionally allow consumables to reach a critical state before replacement. Inspecting the current condition of all four tyres, the integrity of the suspension bushes, and the state of the brake discs will be prudent. Checking the headlight alignment and all exterior lighting functions is also advised to ensure the recent repairs were completed to a high standard.
