2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FE68 XPA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 September 2025 at 46,430 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical state. This trend suggests a proactive approach to maintenance that has successfully avoided recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last five years. The mileage profile remains low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per annum. Between the September 2021 test at 18,504 miles and the September 2025 test, the car recorded an increase of 27,926 miles, showing a consistent and light usage pattern. This low annual mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to average examples, though it can occasionally lead to the gradual aging of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes and tyres if the car sits stationary for extended periods. While the records shows no history of flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than just mileage. A buyer should check for dry cracking on tyre sidewalls and signs of perished rubber, which are common in low-mileage vehicles. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the calipers from clearing effectively. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to be a structurally sound example with no documented evidence of neglect or recurring mechanical issues.
