2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · DP17 OLK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 5 May 2025 at 56,106 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean result mirrors the outcomes of the previous three years, indicating that the vehicle has remained in a sound condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 41,452 miles and May 2025 at 56,106 miles, the car covered 14,654 miles, showing a pattern of light to moderate use rather than neglect. The intervals between tests have followed regular annual cycles, suggesting the owner has maintained a proactive approach to statutory testing. This low annual mileage generally correlates with less wear on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the digital MOT history shows no flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age-related perish regardless of mileage. A buyer should check the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or corrosion, as these can become brittle over a decade. The brake discs should be examined for surface pitting or binding calipers, as low-use vehicles can sometimes develop light rust on the rotors. Checking the integrity of the exhaust and the condition of the tyres is also essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked long periods of stationary storage.
