2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · EO67 GVK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 116,779 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. Following a single failure in August 2022, the vehicle has maintained three consecutive passes without recorded faults, suggesting a consistent approach to mechanical maintenance and repairs. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage intensity over the last three years. Between August 2022 and 2023, the vehicle covered approximately 23,500 miles, reflecting a standard annual average. However, the usage accelerated sharply between 2023 and 2025, where the car clocked 50,381 miles—averaging over 25,000 miles per year. This high annual mileage typical for a nine-year-old Focus places significant stress on high-wear components such as the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and the braking system. While the MOT record is clean, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components that fail between testing intervals. A buyer should specifically check the front suspension arms and coil springs for signs of premature wear or fatigue, as high-frequency use accelerates rubber degradation. The brake discs and pads should be evaluated for thinning or uneven wear given the rapid accumulation of miles. Additionally, the vehicle's age means inspecting the chassis for structural corrosion at the mounting points is essential to ensure the high-mileage use has not compromised the integrity of the frame.
