2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · HB55 HOL

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-12 recorded a pass with a single advisory: the offside rear tyre showed slight damage, cracking, or perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). This mirrors a similar issue noted in the 2025-01-03 MOT at 57,496 miles, where the same tyre was flagged. The 2022-12-20 MOT also listed a nearside rear tyre issue, indicating a recurring pattern of tyre degradation. These defects are not critical but suggest potential neglect or exposure to harsh conditions over time. The 2024-01-02 MOT includes a fail for the offside front windscreen wiper not clearing the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii)), which was resolved by the subsequent pass on the same date. A prior 2022-12-20 MOT noted a defective windscreen wiper blade (3.4 (b) (i)), implying intermittent issues with this component. While these were addressed, the repeated wiper problems may signal wear or improper maintenance. The tyre-related defects have persisted across three MOTs spanning four years, with no evidence of improvement. This suggests a stable risk pattern rather than worsening conditions. However, the lack of major defects in the 2024-01-02 MOT (other than the wiper fail) indicates periods of acceptable maintenance.
