2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LF18 EUW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 09 March 2026 at 121,145 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the most recent test involved a failure for a defective nearside front headlamp which was immediately rectified. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record in 2025, suggesting that the owner addresses faults when prompted by annual testing rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 121,145 miles, this eight-year-old Focus has averaged approximately 15,100 miles per year, which sits significantly above the national average. The data shows consistent high-usage patterns with 18,000 miles driven between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 11,500 miles in the following 13 months. This rapid mileage accumulation places considerable stress on high-mileage components, particularly the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the February 2024 test flagged both thin pads and pitted, scored discs. While these were likely replaced then, the high mileage suggests that components will reach their wear limits frequently. The history also indicates a pattern of neglected tyre maintenance, with alerts for perishing rubber in 2023 and edge-wear in 2024. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential to ensure they are not nearing the end of their operational life.
