2018 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · YY18 OWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline regarding consumable management. The most recent test on January 22, 2026, at 58,065 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as reaching the legal limit with notable edge wear. This follows a previous advisory from May 2023 regarding a nearside rear tyre, indicating a recurring pattern of neglecting tyre replacement until MOT intervals. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,250 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between the 2022 and 2023 tests and another 5,200 miles between August 2024 and early 2026. The lack of defects in the 2022 and 2024 tests suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components remained stable without significant wear-related failures during those periods of operation. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment geometry, as the repeated edge wear on the front tyres noted in 2026 suggests potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. While the MOT record does not highlight structural corrosion or brake failures, the age of the vehicle warrants a physical check of rubber components and brake disc surface cracking. Given the history of tyre-related advisories, verifying the age and condition of all four tyres is essential before purchase.
