2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · HT51 ANY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive upkeep regarding consumables. In the most recent test on 19 June 2026 at 72,061 miles, the car passed with multiple advisories concerning tyres—offside front, offside rear, and nearside rear—all near the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates a lack of recent attention to tyre management and alignment, contrasting with the clean records seen in previous years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between June 2024 (51,907 miles) and June 2026 (72,061 miles), the car covered over 20,000 miles, representing a more active usage phase. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest long periods of stationary time, though the jump of 10,000 miles in a single year between recent intervals explains the accelerated wear on the rubber and braking components noted in the 2025 and. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the suspension geometry, as the edge wear noted on three tyres in 2026 often suggests alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The 2025 test flagged pitted and scored front brake discs; while these passed, the thickness of the material should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the minimum limit. Additionally, the perishing of tyres noted in 2022 suggests the vehicle may suffer from age-related rubber degradation, necessitating a close check of the sidewalls for cracking on any remaining older stock.
