FORD FOCUS2017 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 15 December 2025 at 42,478 miles resulted in no recorded defects, mirroring the perfect results of the previous four years. This trend suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger advis. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,720 miles per year. Between the November 2021 test at 27,509 miles and the December 2022 test at 32,791 miles, the car covered 5,282 miles in a year, indicating light annual use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use often associated with such figures can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or minor corrosion on the braking system. Since the MOT record shows no historical faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than high-mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or perish, as these can degrade even when the car sits stationary. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not seized due to periods of inactivity. Additionally, verify the condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking, as low mileage does not prevent age-related hardening of the rubber compound.
