2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BC17 BKO

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 July 2026 at 99,478 miles. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record, the most recent test identified a front oil leak that was not classified as excessive. This follows a period of two years, specifically the 2024 and 2025 tests, where the vehicle showed no recorded defects, suggesting a period of high mechanical reliability. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 28,519 miles in July 2021 to the current 99,478 miles. There is a notable jump in usage between the July 2022 test at 57,108 miles and the June 2023 test at 80,760 miles, indicating a period of higher-than-average annual mileage. Aside from this, the progression remains predictable and lacks the erratic patterns often seen with long periods of vehicle inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and engine sealing. The 2023 test at 80,760 miles flagged light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber, and the most recent 2026 test noted a front oil leak. These findings suggest potential wear in the damping components or engine gaskets that warrants a close examination for active leaks or further degradation. Additionally, the 2020 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear suggests that wheel alignment or suspension geometry issues have occurred in the past, so checking the current condition of the tyres and suspension bushes is advisable to ensure no recurring alignment faults exist.
