2018 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WM68 NVD

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a history of resolving minor-related faults. The most recent test in December 2025 at 60,066 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a nearside front tyre showing signs of cracking or damage. This follows a clean result in December 2024 at 52,227 miles, indicating that the core mechanical and structural components have remained within tolerance levels during recent inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between the 2023 test at 40,754 miles and the December 2025 test at 60,066 miles, the car covered nearly 20,000 miles, representing a steady usage profile. The gap between the May 2024 retest and the December 2024 test shows a short burst of over 3,300 miles in seven months, suggesting regular operation rather than long periods of neglect. A buyer should pay specific attention to the tyre pressure monitoring system, which caused a failure in May 2024 at 48,907 miles. While this was cleared by the subsequent test, the sensor should be verified as functional to avoid recurring dashboard warnings. The advisory on the perished nearside front tyre in late 2025 suggests the rubber may be aging despite the relatively low mileage, necessitating a physical inspection for sidewall rot. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake issues in the history, the focus should remain on the condition of rubber components and the wiper blade assembly, which previously suffered from smearing.
