2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · HS18 HPX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive component replacement. The most recent test in August 2025 at 33,420 miles identified a failure on the thin offside front inner brake pad and a faulty nearside front washer jet. These issues indicate that the owner is now addressing components as they reach the point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance, as seen in the previous clean records. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,178 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2025, the car covered only 16,274 miles, moving from 17,146 to 33,420 miles. This low usage pattern generally suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but the long periods of stationary time can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals, which may contribute to the recurring minor issues with wiper blades and jets in earlier tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system in person to ensure the thin pads flagged in 2025 have been replaced and that the rotors are not showing signs of pitting or corrosion from low use. Given the history of defective wiper blades and smearing between 2022 and 2023, verify the condition of the wiper arms and the glass surface for scratches. The absence of structural or suspension-related advisories across the records suggests the chassis remains in good condition, despite the low annual mileage.
