2017 Ford Focus 2.3L Petrol · DS 6832

The vehicle holds an unbroken pass record across five consecutive MOT tests, with the most recent certificate issued on 11 March 2026 at 28,955 miles showing no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable and consistently maintained mechanical condition throughout its life. The two-day gap between a failure and pass in March 2023, with no recorded defect categories, appears to be a clerical or procedural matter rather than evidence of underlying mechanical neglect. The recorded mileage confirms a low-usage pattern for a nine-year-old Ford Focus, averaging roughly 3,217 miles per year. The annual test intervals show steady accumulation of between 3,604 and 4,382 miles per year, with the latest period covering 3,648 miles. That consistency suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of standing followed by heavy driving, which reduces the risk of perished bushes and seized calipers. The absence of any failure items or even minor advisories in the test history points to attentive upkeep by previous owners. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and caliper slides for binding, as low annual mileage can mask deterioration from age rather than wear. Look closely for any corrosion on the underbody and suspension mounting points, and confirm the tyres are free from age-related cracking, since the low mileage may mean components wear out through time rather than distance.
