2017 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · J29 KDY

The 2017 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 August 2025 at 56,833 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests show no advisories or faults. The vehicle's history indicates consistent statutory compliance with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns. Mileage accumulation is modest for a nine-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,315 miles per year. The record shows 42,457 miles at the 2 August 2022 test, rising to 46,747 miles by 23 August 2023, then 52,126 miles in August 2024 and 56,833 miles in August 2025. The clean pass sequence from 2022 onwards suggests the prior owner used the car lightly and kept to annual test schedules without neglect. One anomaly appears in August 2023: a failure on 17 August at 46,744 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on 23 August at 46,747 miles. This points to an administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass with zero defects confirms the car was sound. No suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion items were ever flagged across the record. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of tyres, wiper blades, and underbody condition given the low annual use, as standing periods can hide perished rubbers or surface rust not caught in a pass. The DVSA data alone gives no evidence of binding calipers, exhaust emissions breaches, or structural integrity loss, so the Focus stands as a low-risk used purchase on paper.
