2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · FP67 HKY

The 2017 Ford Focus has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across all tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent cycle ending on 2025-06-07 at 129,210 miles. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and passed all statutory inspections without major mechanical or structural failings. The absence of recurring advisories or defects implies that previous owners—assuming they adhered to the MOT schedule—have likely addressed wear items promptly, though this does not preclude hidden issues beyond the scope of the test. The recorded mileage of 129,210 miles over nine years indicates a high annual average of approximately 14,357 miles, which is above the typical range for a vehicle of this age. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2021-10-23 test (107,435 miles) and the 2022-10-25 test (114,016 miles), a gain of 6,581 miles in just under a year. While this could reflect consistent usage, it also raises concerns about accelerated wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components. The lack of advisories in later tests does not negate the need for closer inspection of these high-wear parts, particularly given the extended period since the last MOT. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, focusing on worn or cracked bushes, corroded coil springs, and binding calipers—common issues in high-mileage vehicles. Brake discs and pads, while not explicitly flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or glazing, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as this is often overlooked in vehicles with no MOT advisories. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions tests do not always detect minor failures until they become more pronounced.
