2017 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · DX04 BRO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 08 September 2025 at 78,070 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just six days prior on 02 September 2025 at 78,068 miles. This immediate pass likely indicates a minor, easily rectified fault, such as a blown bulb or a minor sensor issue, which was addressed promptly before the successful re-test. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 52,275 miles and the August 2024 test at 68,356 miles, the car covered 16,081 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. The jump to 78,070 miles by late 2025 follows this trend, suggesting regular motorway-style driving which is generally beneficial for engine health and brake components compared to short-distance city use or inactivity. While the record shows no recurring mechanical advisories regarding structural corrosion or suspension wear, a buyer should still verify the physical condition of the rubber components. Given the age of the Focus, inspect the control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing, as these often degrade over time regardless of mileage. The lack of recorded brake binding issues or exhaust emission failures suggests a well-maintained vehicle, but a physical check of the brake discs for uneven wear remains necessary to ensure no hidden issues have developed.
