2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · D26 GDR

The 2017 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent pass on 17 April 2025 at 106,519 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, though the record shows two anomalous fail entries on the same test dates as passes, both at zero recorded defects. This pattern suggests administrative or processing anomalies at the test centre rather than mechanical faults, and the vehicle has carried no live advisories since at least April 2023. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a nine-year-old car, averaging roughly 11,835 miles per year against the 106,519 miles now shown. The DVSA data moves cleanly from 80,055 miles at the April 2023 test, to 93,355 and 93,365 miles across the April 2024 entries, then to 106,519 miles by April 2025. No standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes are evident, and the sparse but clean record gives little cause for concern on wear-rate grounds alone. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as the MOT history records no advisories that would confirm these items were checked and found sound. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity flags is reassuring, but DVSA pass results with no defects listed do not equate to a component-level health report. The repeated same-day fail and pass pairs at 93,355 and 106,519 miles warrant a check of the full DVSA certificate images to confirm no suppressed defects exist. Previous keepers kept the car to a standard that cleared every valid test, yet the zero-advisory pattern across 26,000 miles of use is unusual and deserves verification of test thoroughness before purchase.
