2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FN17 FAM

The 2017 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a pass at 77,065 miles on 21 January 2026. The maintenance trend is stable, with every annual test from January 2023 through to the latest examination recording no defects. A failed test on 17 January 2026 at 76,889 miles shows no defects listed, indicating the failure stemmed from administrative or unrecorded non-mechanical grounds rather than a fault, and the owner corrected it within four days to secure the pass. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging around 8,563 miles per year. The record shows 48,234 miles in January 2023, 52,771 in January 2024, 65,571 in January 2025, and 76,889 to 77,065 across the two January 2026 entries. Annual use held near 4,500 to 12,000 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant periods, and the sparse clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and the absence of any advisory data to confirm those items remain within tolerance. The clean MOT run means no recurring faults point to binding calipers, exhaust emissions issues, or structural integrity concerns, but the lack of recorded advisories offers no insight into wear trend on tyres or wiper blades. Given the recent January 2026 pass and six-month proximity to today's date, the test remains current. The vehicle's history implies a prior owner who maintained statutory testing punctually, though the unexplained January 2026 failure warrants a check of the VOSA failure reason to rule out a latent defect missed at retest.
