2017 FORD FOCUS1.5L Diesel

The 2017 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 49,255 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Mileage stands at 49,255 miles against an approximate nine-year age, equating to roughly 5,473 miles per year. The record shows steady annual accumulation: 31,143 miles at the September 2022 failure, 31,155 at the pass later that same day, then 38,687 (September 2023), 43,779 (September 2024), and 49,255 (September 2025). No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with only a single failed test logged and no defects listed against it. The September 2022 failure at 31,143 miles carries no recorded defect, suggesting an administrative or unlisted cause rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean pass on the same date at 31,155 miles and four subsequent fault-free tests, no recurring wear pattern or structural concern emerges from the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion, as MOT pass sheets do not capture wear prior to advisory thresholds. Low annual mileage implies the car may have stood for periods, so check tyre sidewall condition, brake caliper binding, and exhaust emissions during a cold start.
