Our Verdict
This Ford Focus is a solid option for bu
When inspecting this specific Focus, pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT history shows front brake issues in 2023 and rear brake pad and disc wear in 2025. You should ask for evidence of when these components were last replaced to ensure they have sufficient life remaining.
Check the tyre condition thoroughly. The 2022 MOT noted both nearside and offside rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear on the edges. This could suggest a previous need for wheel alignment. Ensure the current tyres have even tread across the width of the tyre to rule out ongoing suspension or alignment issues.
The 1.5L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for a variety of drivers. Fuel economy for this model typically sits in the mid-range for petrol hatchbacks, providing a balance between performance and efficiency.
Maintenance costs for a Focus are typically predictable, though you should budget for regular replacement of consumables like brake pads, discs, and tyres, which have appeared in several recent MOT tests. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, fall in the range of £1,400-£1,800 depending on annual mileage.
Start by inspecting the tyres. Given the 2022 MOT failure regarding uneven tyre wear, look for any signs of 'feathering' or uneven tread depth on the inner or outer edges, which can indicate alignment issues.
Next, examine the braking components. Since the 2023 and 2025 MOTs highlighted worn pads and discs at the front and rear respectively, check for any excessive grinding noises or vibrations when braking. Finally, check the general condition of the orange paintwork and exterior, as high-mileage vehicles can sometimes show signs of stone chipping or environmental wear.
This 2017 orange Ford Focus has covered 68,667 miles since its first registration in September 2017. The MOT history shows a pattern of routine consumable wear, specifically regarding brakes and tyres, but no major structural or mechanical failures have been recorded. The vehicle's mileage is higher than the model average of 6,826 per year, suggesting it has been used more frequently than many similar examples.
The Ford Focus shows a 79.2% average MOT pass rate across the aggregate data, with common issues often relating to tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
