2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · LP17 LZH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a series of consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 October 2025 at 101,244 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet the minimum standard. This trend of clean passes suggests that the previous owners addressed potential issues before they escalated into failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,250 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage patterns, with a 15,848-mile interval noted between December 2023 and November 2024, and a further 9,537-mile stretch between November 2024 and October 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to degradation of seals, tyres, and fluid components within the braking system. While recent tests are clean, the history highlights minor maintenance items that appeared in the past. The July 2022 test at 59,061 miles flagged a defective front wiper blade, and subsequent tests in 2022 and 2023 were obstructed by child seats preventing a full adult seat belt inspection. These are minor consumable issues rather than systemic mechanical failures. However, given the vehicle has surpassed the 100,000-mile mark, a buyer should personally inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components typically reach the end of their service at this mileage interval.
