2017 Ford Focus Zetec Edition Tdci 1.5L Diesel · BSZ 3034

The most recent MOT, completed on 21 February 2026 at 89,071 miles, shows a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. That result continues a stable pattern across all four tests on file, with every annual pass since February 2022 being issued without any flagged concerns. The maintenance trend is therefore consistent and unremarkable in the official record. There are no recurring minor faults, no suspension warnings, and no corrosion advisories to indicate a deteriorating structural condition. The mileage accumulation is steady and sits close to the expected average for a nine-year-old car. Between the February 2022 test at 55,367 miles and the February 2023 test at 60,732 miles, the vehicle covered only around 5,365 miles, suggesting a period of lighter use. That pace rose to roughly 9,400 miles in the following year, and then approximately 9,550 miles across the two-year stretch ending at 89,071 miles in February 2026. The overall average of about 9,897 miles per year is typical, and the gaps between tests do not reveal any suspiciously long periods without an MOT or any sudden mileage spikes that would indicate heavy commercial use. Because the DVSA record is entirely clear, the mechanical verdict hinges on the absence of recorded faults rather than the correction of any. That said, a clean MOT is not a guarantee of perfect condition, and a buyer should still conduct a hands-on inspection before purchase. Over this mileage, the TDCI engine’s ancillaries, the dual-mass flywheel, and the clutch should be assessed for wear, as these are high-cost items on this model. Brake discs and pads deserve a visual check, along with the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which commonly age on the Focus of this generation. The clean history is a positive sign, but it does not remove the need for a physical inspection of the components that roadworthiness tests can overlook.
