2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FD18 DVL

The 2026‑04‑21 MOT at 64,259 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Ford Focus is presently roadworthy. The consecutive annual tests from 2021 through 2026 have all passed without any recorded failures, showing a stable maintenance record rather than a trend of worsening or improving condition. The mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s eight‑year age, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year. Increments between tests are consistent – from 24,321 miles in April 2021 to 64,259 miles in April 2026 – with no extended periods of inactivity evident, suggesting regular use and maintenance. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring tyre wear noted in 2023 and 2024, which points to possible suspension bush wear, mis‑aligned wheels or excessive load on the rear axle, and warrants a close inspection of the suspension components, steering linkage and brake calipers for binding. The perishing of the rear tyres may indicate underlying corrosion or structural fatigue, so a visual check for rust on the chassis, wheel arches and suspension mounting points is advisable.
