2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BD17 ABN

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 19 September 2025 at 50,137 miles, maintaining a clean record with no recorded defects or advisories. This status indicates a stable condition over the last three years of testing. While the vehicle failed its initial tests in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded failure items suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural issues rather than mechanical failures, as the subsequent passes occurred within days of the failures. The recorded mileage of 50,137 miles over a nine-year period averages approximately 5,571 miles annually, which is significantly lower than the national average for a Ford Focus. The consistency of the mileage accumulation between 2023 and 2025 shows the car is being used regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods. This usage pattern typically reduces the risk of long-term storage issues such as seized brake components, perished rubber seals, or degraded fuel systems often found in low-mileage examples. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components that age regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or surface corrosion, as these rubber and metal parts deteriorate with time. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or heavy corrosion, which can occur on vehicles that see light, intermittent use. Verify the exhaust system integrity and check for any signs of oil seepage around the engine block. While the MOT record is exemplary, these checks remain essential to confirm the vehicle has received necessary preventative maintenance beyond the annual test requirements.
