2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · CJ17 YKS

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 40,289 miles returned a pass with no defects, following a similarly clean result in August 2024 at 39,579 miles. This indicates that the vehicle has moved past previous minor issues and is currently maintaining a consistent standard of roadworthiness. The mileage pattern shows very low usage for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 4,477 miles per year. Between May 2020 and October 2021, the vehicle covered roughly 4,600 miles, and it has continued this low-use trend through to the 2025 test. While low mileage typically suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, the infrequent use can sometimes lead to secondary issues like seized components or perished rubber seals, though the MOT record does not currently show evidence of such problems. The historical data shows minor consumable issues rather than systemic mechanical failure. The tester flagged worn brake discs on both the nearside and offside fronts in May 2020, alongside a nail in the nearside rear tyre. A subsequent advisory in October 2022 noted an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. These entries suggest periodic attention to tyres and braking components. A single failure in April 2021 regarding a nearside side repeater was a minor electrical/trim issue that was resolved immediately. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition to ensure the recent clean passes reflect current mechanical health. Given the low annual mileage, I recommend checking for any signs of age-related degradation in the suspension bushes or rubber seals that can occur when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods. The absence of any structural corrosion or exhaust emission failures throughout the recorded history is a positive indicator of the vehicle's overall condition.
