2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Petrol · DP17 AAU

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 22 August 2025 at 53,499 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single recorded failure or advisory since August 2021. The mileage is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,944 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable, growing from 34,340 miles in August 2021 to 53,499 miles by August 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest commercial use or prolonged periods of stagnation. The complete absence of advisories over five years is rare and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. The record shows no history of common Ford Focus issues such as suspension bush wear, coil spring fractures, or brake disc corrosion. The previous owners appear to have addressed wear items before they reached a detectable fault level during the annual inspection. A physical inspection should focus on components that the MOT test does not always exhaustively evaluate. Check for perished rubber seals or tyre cracking, as low-mileage cars can suffer from age-related degradation even if tread depth remains legal. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed regardless of the low annual mileage to prevent internal engine sludge.
