FORD FOCUS2017 · 1.5L Diesel

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 23 May 2025 at 43,287 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting the car has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very light duty. The mileage is notably low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,810 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, moving from 18,652 miles in June 2021 to 43,287 miles by May 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing cycle that would indicate periods of neglect or undisclosed heavy usage. Because the MOT history is devoid of any advisories or failures, there are no recurring mechanical faults to flag. The absence of mentions regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions suggests a well-preserved example. However, low-mileage cars often suffer from perished rubber components or seized calipers due to inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the health of the tyres and brake fluid, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. Check for flat spots on the tyres and ensure the brake discs have not developed surface pitting. Given the lack of structural flags in the DVSA record, a quick check of the underbody for surface rust is the only remaining precaution.
