2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · CF17 VJC

The 2017 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 80,956 miles, where the tester logged no defects. Across the available history the vehicle cleared every annual examination without advisories, indicating the previous keeper addressed requirements before each due date and avoided accumulated mechanical neglect. The mileage trace shows light and consistent use for a nine-year-old car. The April 2022 test at 16,516 miles, the May 2023 test at 37,428 miles, the May 2024 test at 57,446 miles, and the May 2025 test at 80,956 miles give an average of roughly 9,000 miles per year. A failed entry appears on 29 April 2022 at 16,516 miles yet carries no recorded defects, with a passing certificate issued the same day, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of flagged wear across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the record implies sound upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody integrity and suspension components, as MOT passes with no advisories do not capture incipient rust or worn bushes below test thresholds. Verify the odometer against service stamps to confirm the clean linear accumulation. The single same-day fail with no defects warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code, but on the evidence supplied the Focus stands as a low-risk used purchase from a mechanical-history standpoint.
