2017 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · JA58 NDS

The 2017 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 64,882 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after a single failed attempt in October 2023. The owner has kept the vehicle to a sound standard with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the last three successful examinations. Recorded mileage sits at 64,882 against roughly nine years of age, equating to about 7,200 miles per year and reflecting typical private use. The test on 5 October 2022 at 44,434 miles, followed by 53,360 miles on 26 October 2023, 58,760 on 23 October 2024, and 64,882 on 2 October 2025, shows steady annual accumulation of around 5,000 to 9,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The history is sparse but clean, offering little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repair. The only blemish is the failure on 25 October 2023 at 53,358 miles, reversed the next day at 53,360 miles with no defects listed on either entry. This suggests a clerical or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a genuine mechanical defect, as the immediate retest passed without correction. No recurring faults involving suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion appear in the sequence. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity, brake caliper operation, and exhaust emissions given the vehicle's age. The absence of advisories across four passes implies previous owners addressed wear proactively, yet nine-year-old Ford chassis can harbour hidden rust at sills and subframes not caught in a visual MOT. Verify service history to confirm fluids and timing belt intervals were met alongside the low-defect record.
