2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LD67 XBP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend following a significant failure. The most recent test in December 2025 at 68,226 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the issues identified previously have been rectified. This follows a problematic period in November 2024 where the car initially failed due to lighting defects and critically worn front brake pads. The transition from a failure to a clean pass suggests that the current owner is responsive to safety-critical maintenance requirements when flagged. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. The record shows steady progression with roughly 7,000 miles covered between each annual inspection, such as moving from 23,132 miles in November 2020 to 68,226 miles by late 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals or seized components, though the low annual mileage remains typical for its age. A buyer should specifically inspect the front geometry and alignment. The November 2023 test at 54,094 miles flagged inner-edge wear on both front tyres, which typically indicates incorrect camber or worn suspension bushes. While the under trays were noted as fitted, the underlying cause of the uneven wear should be verified to prevent premature tyre degradation. Additionally, the 2022 report of a non-excessive oil leak at 44,715 miles warrants a visual check of the engine block and sump area to ensure the leak has not worsened since that inspection.
