Our Verdict
This Ford Focus is a reasonable prospect
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise a thorough check of all four tyres. The MOT history from 2022 through 2025 repeatedly notes tyre damage, cracking, or uneven wear, suggesting that tyre quality or alignment may have been an ongoing issue. Ensure the replacement tyres are of a reputable brand and that the wheel alignment has been corrected to prevent further uneven wear.
Additionally, review the service history for evidence of brake maintenance. The 2024 MOT noted the front inner brake discs were pitted or scored; verify if these were replaced or if they remain on the vehicle. Given the 1.0L EcoBoost engine, ensure there is documented evidence of the cambelt replacement schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item for this specific engine variant.
The 1.0L petrol engine is generally economical, offering a good balance of power and fuel efficiency for urban and motorway driving. As a 2017 registered vehicle, ensure you check the specific VED (Road Tax) band, as rates for this model year vary based on CO2 emissions.
Insurance groups for the Ford Focus are typically competitive, though premiums will depend on your personal driving history. You should budget for regular maintenance, specifically focusing on tyre replacements and brake components, which appear to be the most frequent areas of concern for this specific vehicle. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, is approximately £1,200–£1,500.
Focus your inspection on the condition of the tyres. The 2025 MOT noted heavy inner-edge wear on the front tyres, which could indicate a suspension geometry issue or incorrect tracking. Check the sidewalls for any signs of perishing, as this has been a recurring advisory in the vehicle's history.
Inspect the front brake discs for the pitting mentioned in the 2024 MOT. While the vehicle passed, these components are wear-and-tear items that may require replacement sooner rather than later. Finally, check the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks and ensure the engine runs smoothly at idle, which is standard procedure for the 1.0L EcoBoost unit.
This 2017 Ford Focus 1.0L has covered 52,020 miles, averaging approximately 5,780 miles per year, which is below the national average. Its MOT history shows consistent passes, though there is a recurring pattern of tyre-related advisories. The vehicle presents a stable history without any recorded MOT failures, suggesting a straightforward maintenance requirement for the next owner.
The Ford Focus generally performs well in MOT tests, though owners should be mindful of common issues like tyre wear and anti-roll bar degradation, which align with the findings on this specific vehicle.
