2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · CV17 BBF

The 2017 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 20 March 2025 at 120,759 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly on 26 March 2024 at 114,890 miles. The history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across any test, indicating no worsening or recurring defect pattern in the official record. The mileage stands at 120,759 over roughly nine years, averaging 13,418 miles per year which is high for a vehicle of this age and points to sustained regular use rather than long stationary periods. Annual accumulation is moderate: the car covered 6,232 miles between the February 2023 and March 2024 tests, then 5,869 miles to the March 2025 test. Two failed tests appear in the record on 17 February 2023 at 108,648 miles and 19 March 2024 at 114,868 miles, yet both list no defects recorded, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical failure. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions faults, the DVSA data alone implies consistent basic upkeep by previous owners. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear such as tyres and wiper blades, as these items fall outside mandatory failure thresholds until severely degraded. The clean advisory history offers no evidence of binding calipers or structural rust, but high mileage for the age warrants scrutiny of drivetrain components and suspension fatigue not captured by MOT tests. Verify service records alongside this MOT data before purchase.
