2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · KS67 VHB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 19 June 2026 at 37,685 miles passed despite advisories for an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and a defective wiper blade. This follows a failure in January 2026 where the car failed for an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system and insufficient washer fluid. While the vehicle is passing its tests, the recurring appearance of minor defects suggests the owner only addresses faults once they trigger a failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,187 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2025 and January 2026, where the car covered only 2,620 miles over twelve months. This low-use pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the perishing and cracking of the tyres recorded during the January 2025 test at 33,325 miles. The vehicle appears to sit for long periods rather than being subjected to high mileage. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related degradation that low mileage cannot prevent. The history of perishing tyres indicates the rubber compound may be reaching the end of its structural life regardless of tread depth. The malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system from early 2026 should be verified to ensure it was properly rectified rather than just cleared temporarily. Given the low usage, an inspection should also check brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, which are common in vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
