2017 FORD FOCUS1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent inspection on March 5 2026 at 50,547 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recurring minor issue during the last two tests. While the car passed without major failures, the persistence of an advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre indicates a specific area of neglect that has not yet been fully addressed by the previous owner. The mileage profile is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2024, the car covered 15,829 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. The jump of 7,913 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests represents a slight increase in annual travel. This low-mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts perishing due to age rather than purely mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the nearside rear tyre, as the repeated advisory for cracking and perishing in both 2025 and 2026 suggests the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life despite potential tread depth. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for perished suspension bushes and dried seals, which can become brittle when a vehicle sits for long periods. The absence of structural corrosion or brakerelated failures in the history is a positive indicator for the chassis's integrity.
