2017 Ford Focus 2.3L Petrol · N40 OJB

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 13 October 2025 at 49 925 miles, but the tester recorded slight damage/cracking or perishing on both rear tyres (5.2.3 (d)(ii)). No other defects were noted. The history shows a stable maintenance trend: after a clean run from 2020 to 2024, only this minor consumable wear has appeared, indicating the car has been kept in reasonable condition. Mileage has accumulated at roughly 5 500 miles per year since 2017, a low figure for a nine‑year‑old car. The interval between the 2024 test (48 642 miles) and the 2025 test is about 12 months, with an increase of just 1 283 miles, confirming light usage. Earlier records from 2020 to 2023 show consistent annual mileage gains and no significant faults until the rear brake discs were flagged in October 2022. A buyer should inspect the rear tyres closely for cracks or perishing, as the advisories suggest they may need replacement soon. The rear brake discs were noted as worn in 2022 but have not been mentioned since, so a visual check of disc condition and pad wear is advisable. Also examine suspension bushes, steering mounts and look for any corrosion or rust around wheel arches and underbody, given the vehicle’s age and low‑mileage profile.
