2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · FA61 ADE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 March 2026 at 72,790 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of perfect results over the last five years suggests a stable maintenance regime where the previous owners likely proactively addressed minor mechanical issues before they escalated into test failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the April 2022 test at 48,856 miles and the March 2026 test at 72,790 miles, the car covered 23,934 miles, indicating a steady pattern of use rather than long periods of stagnation. This low-mileage profile typically reduces the likelihood of premature wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to vehicles with with high-distance motorway driving. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection should still focus on common Ford Focus wear points for this age and mileage. You should verify the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these often degrade over time regardless of mileage. Additionally, check the brake discs for pitting or thinning, as the lack of advisories in the digital record does not guarantee the remaining life of the pads and rotors between tests.
