2017 Ford Focus 2.3L Petrol · GT17 GNT

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 April 2026 at 48,923 miles with no recorded defects. This result indicates a high standard of mechanical upkeep following a minor failure in April 2025. The previous failure was limited to a defective wiper blade and a failed rear fog lamp, both of which were rectified prior to the subsequent test, suggesting the owner is responsive to immediate safety-related requirements. At approximately nine years old, the recorded mileage of 48,923 miles represents a low annual usage rate of roughly 5,400 miles. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with only 2,183 miles driven between the October 2022 and December 2023 tests, and another 2,191 miles covered since the most recent 2025 inspection. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to average-use vehicles, though it can occasionally lead to rubber perish or brake caliper seizing during periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is clean of structural or mechanical failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to low-mileage degradation. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers have not seized due to infrequent use. Given the age of the vehicle, verify the condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking and the integrity of rubber hoses, as these often age before the tread wears. The absence of advisories for suspension rust or component play in the records suggests the chassis remains sound for now.
