2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · LD66 OPJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent test on December 5, 2025, at 66,749 miles returned zero defects, indicating that previous issues related to consumable components have been addressed. This follows a clean result in 2024, suggesting that the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet minimum safety requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between December 2021 and December 2025, the car covered 29,952 miles, showing a steady annual usage that avoids the risks associated with long periods. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the low de-to-mileage ratio typically benefits the drivetrain and suspension from reduced wear compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and wheels, as the record shows recurring issues in this area between 2022 and 2023. The tester flagged a cut in the offside rear tyre in 2022, followed by perishing and edge wear on multiple tyres in 2023. While these were resolved for the later tests, the buyer must verify that the current set of tyres is fresh and free of further sidewall cracking or uneven wear patterns. Since the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the primary integrity of the Ford chassis appears sound. The inspection should still check for early signs of worn suspension bushes or coil springs, which are common points of failure on Focus of this age despite low mileage. The lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests suggests the vehicle has not yet suffered from the significant component degradation that would typically trigger a warning.
