2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LP17 AWJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 28 December 2022 at 99,519 miles returned no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a functional standard, as the tester did not flag any immediate mechanical or structural failures across multiple inspection cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2021 test at 68,759 miles and the December 2021 test at 85,038 miles, the car covered 16,279 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. The interval of 14,481 miles between late 2021 and late 2022 shows a steady usage pattern, which generally reduces the likelihood of seized components or brake fluid degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to wear at the 100,000-mile mark. Priority should include the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often show signs of fatigue at this mileage interval. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear and check for binding calipers, as the MOT does not measure remaining life on these consumable items. Since the last recorded test was over three years ago, verifying the current state of the tyres and fluid levels is essential to ensure no significant issues have developed since the 2022 certification.
