2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FG68 VSJ

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 22 October 2025 at 16,369 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the mechanical and safety components have operated without significant failure or recurring issues during the inspection periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,046 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of stationary use, notably between December 2021 and November 2022 when the car covered only 205 miles in nearly eleven months. Since the 2022 test, usage has increased slightly, moving from 13,440 miles to 16,369 miles over a 33-month period. This low annual mileage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension, though it often introduces risks associated with long-term storage and lack of mechanical movement. While the digital record is flawless, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage operation. The buyer must check for flat-spotted tyres, perished rubber seals, and seized brake calipers which frequently occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Attention should also be paid to fluid degradation and potential brake line corrosion, as low mileage does not prevent the accumulation of moisture in the braking system or on the exhaust manifold.
