2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · DA17 EHZ

The 2017 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 30 April 2025 at 121,936 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior annual tests from May 2022 through May 2024 also passed with no advisories or faults logged, showing consistent compliance across the recorded period. The vehicle has covered roughly 13,548 miles per year against its nine-year age, a high annual figure that points to sustained motorway or commuter use rather than short local trips. Mileage rose from 99,004 at the May 2022 tests to 106,450 in May 2023, 114,200 in May 2024, and 121,936 by April 2025, a steady near-linear accumulation of about 7,700 miles between each examination. The only anomaly is the failed test on 13 May 2022 at 99,004 miles, which the record shows with no defects cited, followed three days later by a pass at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean advisory history across all passes, no recurring wear items such as tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion were flagged by DVSA testers. The absence of advisories does not confirm component condition, only that thresholds for failure were not breached at test dates. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers given the high mileage and age. The 2022 fail with no listed defect warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code if available, to rule out any overlooked brake or lighting issue from that test cycle.
