2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · DC17 LXM

The 2017 Ford Focus with 83,426 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-02 confirming a pass at 83,426 miles. No defects were recorded in this test, and the prior three annual assessments from 2023 to 2025 also passed without issues. A single failure on 2025-02-18 at 77,476 miles is noted, though no defects were logged, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor, unresolved concern. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the remaining records indicates consistent maintenance, though the failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 83,426 miles over nine years aligns with an average of 9,270 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. MOT tests at 72,177 (2024), 77,543 (2025), and 83,426 (2026) show steady progression with no abrupt spikes or gaps, implying regular operation. The 2025-02-18 failure occurred just six days before a subsequent pass at 77,543 miles, raising questions about the validity of the failure or its resolution. No anomalies in wear patterns, such as excessive tyre tread loss or brake disc thinning, are evident from the data, suggesting no significant neglect. A buyer should verify the resolution of the 2025-02-18 failure, as its lack of recorded defects may mask underlying issues. Inspect suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear, as these often degrade over time without immediate warning. Check brake systems for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, which could indicate improper servicing. While no corrosion or structural damage is flagged, a thorough visual assessment of the chassis and underbody is advisable, particularly if the vehicle has been exposed to harsh environments. The MOT history suggests no critical risks, but the failure warrants closer examination to confirm the car’s ongoing reliability.
