2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · D23 CBW

The 2017 Ford Focus presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 40,862 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least 2022. The vehicle shows no advisories or failures across the full supplied history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards. Recorded mileage sits at 40,862 against an approximate nine-year age, equating to roughly 4,540 miles per year and marking the car as low-use for its class. The test cadence shows a minor anomaly: the 2023 test fell on 21 September at 28,001 miles, then the 2024 test shifted back to March on 7 March at 29,343 miles, implying a change of ownership or scheduling rather than a lapse. Annual accumulation stayed modest throughout, with only 7,246 miles added between March 2025 and March 2026. The absence of flagged items means no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues appear in the data. A clean record across five tests suggests the prior keepers addressed wear before each examination rather than letting advisories accumulate. Low standing mileage can still conceal perished rubber components or surface structural rust unseen by the tester. A buyer should physically inspect underbody structural integrity, brake calipers for binding after idle periods, and tyre sidewalls for cracking from low usage. Confirm the 2026 test certificate matches the recorded 40,862 miles and verify service history to corroborate the light-use pattern shown in the MOT trail.
