2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · M99 FEL

The 2017 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 27 June 2025 at 72,143 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The DVSA data shows no advisories or defects at any stage, and the only anomaly is a failed test logged on the same date as the pass, with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Over the preceding years the car cleared every test cleanly, indicating consistent upkeep and no escalating wear pattern. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,000 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records trace a steady climb: 40,773 miles in July 2022, 48,738 in June 2023, 60,062 in June 2024, and 72,143 by June 2025. That equates to about 11,000 miles in the final year and 9,000 to 12,000 in earlier intervals, with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The sparse but clean history offers little evidence of neglect, though the absence of advisories means worn consumables were likely renewed before each test rather than flagged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mixed-use profile. The clean MOT sheet does not rule out latent corrosion on structural members or fatigued mounts that testers did not capture under current thresholds. Verify the 27 June 2025 fail-pass pair with DVLA to confirm no suppressed defect, and check tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions in person before purchase.
