2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · DA67 FHP

The 2017 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 74,965 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,300 miles per year. The records show 46,421 miles at the 8 January 2022 test, rising to 54,518 by 2 August 2023, 63,527 by 9 September 2024, and 74,965 by September 2025. The step from January 2022 to August 2023 covers 8,097 miles over nineteen months, a slightly slower pace than later periods, but no excessive gaps or sudden accumulation appear. With four consecutive passes and zero advisories, the DVSA data offers no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or ignored mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of recorded advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion received no flags, yet MOT pass criteria do not equate to a full mechanical appraisal. Previous owners clearly kept the car to test-standard minimums; that implies basic upkeep rather than proactive component renewal. Given the age, examine the exhaust system for internal degradation and check for structural rust at sill and subframe junctions. Verify tyre sidewall condition and remaining tread beyond the legal limit, since no wear items were noted in the record. The drivetrain shows no fault history, but a road test will confirm clutch and gearbox behaviour absent from MOT scope.
