2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · AV67 HCF

This Ford Focus demonstrates an exceptional record of roadworthiness, having secured five consecutive MOT passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. This trend of absolute stability is confirmed by the most recent clean pass on 8 October 2025, indicating a vehicle that has consistently met DVSA standards without the typical wear-and-tear flags often seen in cars of this vintage. With 56,190 miles recorded over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,243 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a hatchback of this age, suggesting a balanced duty cycle that avoids the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage commuting while also avoiding the risks of prolonged stagnation. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that major drivetrain components and suspension bushings should still retain significant service life. Given the absence of any recorded advisories regarding brakes, tyres, or suspension, the physical inspection should focus on verifying that this clean record is maintained. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering precision and the absence of any knocks or clunks from the front suspension linkages when traversing uneven surfaces, as these are common wear points for this model that have notably not appeared in this vehicle's history. Ensure the engine operates smoothly across the rev range and that the gear transitions are crisp, as the MOT focuses primarily on safety and emissions rather than mechanical refinement. A final check of the underbody for any fresh oil misting or signs of corrosion will confirm that the structural integrity and sealing remain as pristine as the DVSA records suggest.
