Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific black Focus, pay close attention to the brake lines. The most recent MOT in April 2026 noted slight corrosion to the ferrules on both rear brake hoses. While these passed the test, you should check if any remedial work has been carried out since that inspection.
Given the low mileage, ensure the vehicle has a documented service history to confirm that oil changes have occurred regularly despite the infrequent use. Check the condition of the tyres, as the 2025 MOT flagged cracking/perishing on the nearside rear, which can occur on vehicles that sit idle for long periods.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger displacement Focus models. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small-capacity hatchback.
Typical maintenance for this model involves standard consumables like tyres and brake components, which are common failure points in the aggregate data. Expect annual running costs to be moderate, primarily driven by fuel and scheduled servicing.
Focus on the braking system first; the 2026 MOT specifically identified corrosion on the rear brake hose ferrules. It is worth checking the integrity of all flexible hoses to ensure no further degradation is present.
Additionally, check the exterior lighting, specifically the side repeaters, as a non-functioning repeater caused a failure in June 2024. Finally, inspect the sidewalls of all tyres for signs of cracking or perishing, following the advisory noted in the 2025 MOT history.
This 2017 Ford Focus is a 1.0L petrol model with 53,912 miles recorded at its last MOT. Compared to the model average of 6,826 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven significantly less than the typical example. The MOT history shows a generally consistent pass record with minor advisories and failures related to consumables like tyres and lighting.
The Ford Focus shows a 79.2% average MOT pass rate across the aggregate data, with common issues frequently involving tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
