2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · CA66 VPM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on January 2 2026 at 62,242 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met minimum standards despite immediate failures in the two preceding years. The pattern of a failure followed by a pass on the same day in two consecutive years suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults immediately upon discovery to ensure compliance, rather than letting the vehicle suffer from mechanical neglect. At 62,242 miles, this 2017 Ford Focus has averaged approximately 6,900 miles per year. This aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has not been subjected to excessive heavy motorway stress. The mileage progression shows consistent movement, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and nearly 10,000 miles between early 2025 and early 2026. This regularity indicates regular use, which is generally beneficial for seals and components that might degrade if stationary. A buyer should physically inspect the areas that caused the failures in January 2025 and 2026, although the record does not specify the exact defects found. Given the age and mileage, focus on the brake components, lighting bulbs, and exhaust system which are common points of failure on this model. Check for signs of corrosion on the underside chassis and structural integrity, as these are often flagged over nine years. Since the most recent test recorded no advisories, the mechanical state appears sound, but a manual check of the suspension bushes and tyre tread depth for signs of uneven wear remains advisable.
