2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · JC62 EFC

The 2017 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent pass on 23 May 2025 at 66,464 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared its test cleanly after a failed attempt two days earlier on 21 May 2025 at 66,416 miles, where the tester logged no defects; this suggests an administrative or unrecorded correction rather than a mechanical fault. Across the full history from 2022 to 2025, every annual test returned a pass with no advisories or defects, indicating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,385 miles per year against the car's nine-year age, a typical use profile for this model. The records show steady accumulation: 31,625 miles in May 2022, 42,529 in May 2023, 54,207 in May 2024, and 66,464 by May 2025. No gap or sudden spike appears in the sequence. The clean test lineage with zero advisories across four years implies the previous keeper maintained basic servicing, though the absence of flagged wear items means underlying consumable condition remains unverified by the MOT scheme. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the MOT's lack of advisory data on these components. The May 2025 fail with no recorded defect warrants confirmation that no latent issue such as a binding caliper or emissions anomaly was present. Check underneath for corrosion at structural mounting points and examine exhaust integrity, as nine-year-old Ford Focus bodies can develop rust where drainage is poor. Verify the two May 2025 tests reflect a genuine rectification and obtain service invoices to corroborate the unseen maintenance. Tyres and wiper blades will be due for wear assessment regardless of the clean record. The vehicle's history supports a sound purchase subject to these confirmations.
