2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · MX12 DEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 03 October 2025 at 62,928 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a failure just three weeks prior on 15 September 2025 at 62,747 miles, though the lack of recorded defects on that failure suggests an administrative error or a minor non-presentation issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 7,866 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2024, the car covered 19,311 miles, showing a steady progression of roughly 9,600 miles annually thereafter. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized brake components or perished seals, but it also means that age-related wear on suspension components and rubber bushings is expected at this mileage. Since the record shows no recurring advisories regarding structural corrosion or binding calipers, an in-person inspection should focus on common wear items for the Ford Focus. A buyer should verify the condition of the front wish arm bushes and drop links, which often show degradation around 60,000 miles. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to have been maintained adequately, but a physical check for fluid leaks and the state of the brake discs remains necessary to ensure the mechanical state matches the documented condition.
