2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · DP17 AAK

The 2017 Ford Focus presents a fully roadworthy status based on the most recent DVSA test conducted on 11 December 2025 at 68,091 miles, approximately seven months prior to the current date, where the examiner recorded no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend across the vehicle's recorded history is stable, with five consecutive annual passes and zero flagged issues. In that December 2025 examination the tester confirmed clean results on emissions, braking efficiency, and structural integrity. Odometer readings show a consistent annual accumulation aligned with the car's nine-year lifespan. The record opens at 36,976 miles on 18 December 2021, rising to 44,831 by 10 December 2022, then 53,286 on 19 December 2023, 60,723 on 20 December 2024, and finally 68,091 on 11 December 2025. This equates to roughly 7,500 miles per year, a typical figure that indicates regular but undemanding use. No gaps exceed twelve months between tests, and the clean sheets suggest the previous keeper adhered to scheduled servicing without deferring critical consumables. Despite the unblemished MOT trail, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components. The tester noted no corrosion on chassis members nor wear in suspension bushes during any visit, yet a nine-year-old Focus may harbour latent rust in sills or subframe that evades the annual check. Examine brake discs for scoring and verify coil springs for fractures, as these items were not flagged but degrade with time. Check the condition of tyres and wiper blades as minor wear items, though no test cited deficiencies. The absence of advisories on exhaust emissions points to a healthy powertrain, but a pre-purchase compression test remains prudent. Overall the documentary evidence implies disciplined ownership and a sound mechanical baseline.
