2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · LP17 EOF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 August 2024 at 90,676 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a clean record that spans across the last five annual inspections. This consistency suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing potential issues before they could result in MOT failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between July 2022 (55,082 miles) and August 2023 (73,580 miles), where the car covered over 18,000 miles in a single year. However, usage settled back down to roughly 17,000 miles leading the 2024 test. This pattern indicates regular use, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals and brake lines compared to long periods of stagnation. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a buyer should still focus on specific areas common to this model at the 90,000-mile mark. Inspection should prioritize the condition of the front suspension bushes and coil springs, which often show wear at this mileage. Given the clean records, checking for physical thinning of brake discs and verifying the caliper movement is advisable, though the tester did not flag any binding issues. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be visually confirmed to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed since the last inspection.
