Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low annual mileage, you should prioritise checking the service history to ensure the vehicle has been serviced based on time intervals rather than just mileage. Verify that the oil and filters have been changed regularly to prevent engine sludge, which can occur in low-use vehicles.
Negotiate based on the current state of the consumables. While the most recent MOT was clean, the February 2024 record noted scored brake discs; check if these were replaced or if they remain a pending maintenance item. Ensure the service book confirms any work carried out between the 2024 and 2025 tests.
The 1999cc petrol engine provides more performance than the smaller EcoBoost variants but will result in higher fuel consumption and a higher annual road tax band. Insurance groups for the 2.0L Focus are generally moderate, though higher than the entry-level engine options.
Typical maintenance for this model involves routine oil changes and brake wear. Based on the engine size and typical UK usage, the estimated annual running cost is higher than a standard 1.0L model due to fuel and tax.
Carefully inspect the braking system. The MOT history from February 2024 specifically flagged scored front and rear brake discs; you should verify if these have been replaced or if they are showing signs of further wear.
Check the exterior lighting and trim, specifically the offside front side repeater. This component failed the 2024 MOT and was an advisory in 2023, so ensure the current lens is intact and the bulb is functioning correctly. Finally, check the under-trays mentioned in the 2024 record to ensure they are securely fitted.
This yellow 2017 Ford Focus has covered just 26,459 miles as of January 2025, which is significantly below the model average. Its MOT history shows five tests with one failure in February 2024 due to a broken side repeater, which was subsequently resolved. The most recent test in early 2025 was passed with no defects recorded.
The Ford Focus has an average MOT pass rate of 79.2%, with aggregate data showing common failures related to tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
