2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · FJ67 RHO

The 2017 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 67,895 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage has averaged close to 7,500 miles, consistent with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show steady annual increments: 27,634 miles in August 2021, 37,422 in September 2022, 47,141 in September 2023, 57,703 in September 2024, and 67,895 in September 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every test returning a pass and zero advisories, which suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of advisories means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake discs at each visit, but MOT snapshots miss intermittent faults. Check the front coil springs and rear trailing arm bushes for fatigue, and confirm brake disc thickness and caliper operation match the recorded mileages. Given the car stood at 67,895 miles for roughly ten months before today's review date, examine tyres for flat-spotting and fluid levels for stagnation. The history implies disciplined ownership, yet no record substitutes for a ramp-based survey of underside corrosion and drivetrain condition.
