2017 Ford Focus 2.3L Petrol · FN67 HHF

The 2017 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 December 2024 at 19,880 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior satisfactory tests show no advisories or recurring faults across a two-year window. Recorded mileage sits at 19,880 miles against roughly nine years of age, equating to about 2,209 miles per year. The car covered only 340 miles between the December 2023 test at 19,540 miles and the December 2024 test, and just 834 miles across 2022 to 2023. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, with a single failed test on 29 December 2022 at 18,705 miles showing no defects logged, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 18,706 miles, indicating an administrative or presentation error rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubber components and binding brakes through lack of movement. Drivetrain oil degradation and corroding brake discs from moisture sitting undisturbed are plausible despite the clean MOT sheet. Given the absence of any flagged advisories on structural integrity, exhaust emissions, or tyres, the history implies a lightly used vehicle with basic upkeep maintained. Verify service records and check for underlying corrosion not captured in the MOT, particularly to sills and subframes.
