2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · GL67 ADO

The 2017 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 25 July 2025 at 80,364 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, though the test history shows two anomalous failures on 22 July 2025 and 14 November 2023 where the tester logged no defects at 80,265 and 50,685 miles respectively. Such zero-defect failures typically stem from administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults, and the vehicle cleared both on re-test the same day or days later. No worsening pattern of wear or recurring advisories appears across the five-year span of records. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 8,929 miles per year for a nine-year-old car, with the odometer reading 45,153 miles at the November 2022 pass, 50,685 at the November 2023 tests, and 80,364 by July 2025. The jump of nearly 30,000 miles between late 2023 and mid-2025 suggests heavier use in that window, or a prior period of low activity reversed by a high-mileage owner. The DVSA data itself is sparse and clean, showing no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or corrosion at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the age and the 30,000-mile surge in the final two years. The absence of recorded advisories does not rule out worn suspension bushes or binding calipers that a road test would expose. Verify the reason for the two no-defect failures with the selling garage, as repeated administrative fails can mask skipped pre-test checks by the previous keeper.
