2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FH17 ABK

The vehicle maintains a clean MOT record, with the most recent test on 2 February 2026 resulting in a pass at 73,300 miles. The initial failure recorded on the same date appears to be a clerical or administrative error given the immediate subsequent pass without reported defects. This history indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections without any recorded advisories or failures related to mechanical or structural components over the past three years. The recorded mileage of 73,300 miles over nine years averages approximately 8,144 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this model. The data shows a steady accumulation of roughly 13,000 miles between the January 2023 and December 2023 tests, followed by a slightly higher usage rate of nearly 15,000 miles leading into the 2025 inspection. This consistent mileage profile suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which generally benefits drivetrain health and battery longevity. Given the absence of any recorded advisories throughout the vehicle's history, the mechanical condition appears well-preserved. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on consumable items that typically require replacement at this mileage, specifically checking the condition of the brake discs for scoring or lip formation and the thickness of the brake pads. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or corrosion, as these components often begin to show wear once a vehicle passes the 70,000-mile threshold. While the MOT history is exemplary, a thorough check of the service book for engine oil and filter change intervals remains essential to confirm that the owner has supplemented these clean test results with proactive mechanical care.
