2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LL17 OFE

This Ford Focus demonstrates a consistent record of roadworthiness, characterized by a near-absence of mechanical failures or structural concerns over several years. A stable testing trend is evident, culminating in a pass on 13 May 2026, although this latest inspection flagged a specific tyre wear issue on the offside front. With a recorded mileage of 36,135 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 4,015 miles per year since 2017. This low annual accumulation indicates the car has seen significantly lighter use than the national average. Mechanically, this typically results in reduced wear on major drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it means the vehicle has spent more time stationary than a high-mileage equivalent. Inspection should focus on the offside front tyre, which was noted as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear during the May 2026 test. This specific pattern of edge wear can be an indicator of incorrect steering geometry or tracking. During a test drive, the buyer should check for any steering pull or an off-centre steering wheel when travelling in a straight line, as this would confirm the need for a professional four-wheel alignment. Given the lack of recorded advisories regarding the braking system, suspension linkages, or structural corrosion, the vehicle appears mechanically sound in those areas. A thorough check of the tyre treads across all four corners is recommended to ensure consistency and safety. The absence of flagged exhaust emissions failures or oil leaks in the DVSA history provides confidence in the engine's current operational state.
