Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus your attention on the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre wear, specifically inner edge wear in 2023 and a nearside front tyre close to the legal limit in July 2026; this often suggests an alignment issue that should be addressed. Check for evidence of recent tyre replacements and a professional four-wheel alignment.
Verify the service history for the 1.0L EcoBoost engine, as regular oil changes are critical for this specific power unit. Negotiate based on the current state of the tyres if they have not been replaced since the last MOT in July 2026.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, providing a balance of low fuel consumption and manageable road tax. Insurance groups for the Focus are typically mid-range, making it an accessible choice for a wide variety of drivers.
Typical maintenance involves standard servicing and the replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes. Given the model's common failure points, budget for occasional suspension or lighting repairs.
Carefully inspect the nearside front tyre, as the July 2026 MOT noted it was worn close to the legal limit. Check the front brake discs for pitting or scoring, as this was an advisory item in 2022; if they haven't been replaced, they may be due for a change.
Additionally, check the headlamps and anti-roll bar. While this specific car has passed its tests, aggregate data for over a million Ford Focuses shows these as top failure reasons, making them key points for a pre-purchase inspection.
This grey 2017 Ford Focus 1.0L petrol has covered 48,702 miles, which is below the model average for its age. The vehicle has a consistent MOT record from 2022 to 2026, with no failures recorded. While there are recurring advisories regarding tyre wear, the overall data suggests a vehicle that has passed its annual inspections reliably.
The Ford Focus maintains a respectable 79.2% average MOT pass rate, though tyre-related issues are a frequent point of failure across the model range.
