2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · DS17 PFO

This 2017 Ford Focus has covered 115,078 miles, averaging approximately 12,786 miles per year. This is a high-mileage vehicle for its age, suggesting it has likely been used for regular, long-distance motorway driving rather than short, stop-start urban journeys. While high mileage can indicate a well-maintained engine, it inevitably places significant stress on suspension, drivetrain, and braking components. The vehicle’s condition trend appears to be slightly worsening. While it passed its most recent MOT in May 2026, it initially failed due to a combination of maintenance and safety issues. The presence of an insecure heat shield, a damaged rear bumper, and a tyre worn on the edge suggests that the car has not been receiving the proactive mechanical attention required for a vehicle with this level of usage. The recurring mention of a child seat preventing a full inspection of the rear seatbelt is a minor administrative nuisance, but the appearance of tyre wear, brake pad thinning in previous years, and the recent failure for washer fluid deficiency indicates that basic maintenance is being neglected. The uneven tyre wear is particularly concerning as it often points to underlying alignment or suspension issues that go beyond simple tyre replacement. Before purchasing, you should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension components and wheel alignment, as the uneven tyre wear recorded in the latest MOT is a red flag. Check the underside of the vehicle for any further corrosion or damage related to the insecure heat shield.
