2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WM68 FUY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 61,677 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of reactive repairs. While 2024 and 2025 tests revealed multiple failures regarding suspension and braking components, the latest pass indicates these primary mechanical issues were addressed. However, the presence of a TPMS light on the latest record suggests a sensor or system fault that requires attention to ensure tyre pressure monitoring remains functional. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 48,134 miles and the March 2025 test at 55,562 miles, the car covered 7,428 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The subsequent interval of 6,115 miles leading to the March 2026 test further reinforces this predictable usage without long periods of neglect or excessive wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the track rod end ball joints were flagged for play in both 2024 and 2025. Although these were rectified to pass the MOT, a physical check is necessary to ensure no further play remains in the steering linkage. The history also shows a recurring pattern of pitted and scored rear brake discs and thin pads across multiple years. Verify that the current brakes were replaced with quality components and do not currently show signs of premature corrosion or uneven wear.
