2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · EG17 MSX

The 2025‑08‑06 MOT at 57,546 miles passed with no defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards; however, the preceding 2025‑08‑05 test at 57,527 miles recorded a failure for front tyre tread depth below the 1.6 mm legal limit, showing a recent tyre wear issue but no broader mechanical decline. Mileage has risen from 24,908 miles in August 2020 to 57,546 miles in August 2025, an average annual increase of roughly 6,400 miles, consistent with the vehicle’s nine‑year age and typical usage patterns; each August test has been recorded without extended intervals, confirming a regular maintenance schedule and no significant periods of non‑use. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of tyre condition and tread depth, verify brake operation for any binding calipers, examine suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or leakage, and assess the chassis for corrosion around the wheel arches and sills; the 2022 child‑seat fit note suggests the rear seatbelt may have been partially obscured, so a direct seatbelt check is advisable, while the absence of recorded structural or drivetrain defects points to generally sound mechanical health.
