2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YH67 AEN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 27 January 2026 at 134,057 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without mechanical failures, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is high for a nine year old vehicle, averaging nearly 15,000 miles per year. A significant spike in usage occurred between January 2025 and January 2026, where the odometer rose from 100,227 miles to 134,057 miles. This increase of over 33,000 miles in a single year indicates heavy recent use, likely for long-distance commuting, which typically puts more strain on the drivetrain and suspension than urban stop-start driving. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The record shows a failure on 2 January 2025 at 100,208 miles, though the data lists no specific defects, and the car passed 26 days later. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding brake disc wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion over the last four years is atypical for a high-mileage Ford Focus. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on wear items that the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers given the high mileage. Inspect the brake pads and tyres for remaining tread and thickness, as these consumables will have worn significantly during the recent 33,000-mile surge. Finally, check for underbody corrosion, as the lack of recorded structural advisories does not guarantee the absence of surface rust on the chassis.
