2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · LS17 ABF

The 2017 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 75,267 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,363 miles per year. The record shows 56,310 miles at the 22 March 2022 test, rising to 64,422 miles by 28 March 2023, then 71,631 miles on 3 April 2024, 72,860 miles on 24 March 2025, and 75,267 miles on 30 March 2026. Annual increments stay consistent with no sudden jumps or prolonged standing gaps, and the clean pass sheet at every interval implies the previous keepers addressed consumable wear before each test rather than letting advisories lapse. No advisories or failures appear in the DVSA data, so the history gives no signal of recurring suspension bush wear, corroded structural members, binding calipers, or exhaust emission faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and underbody corrosion, since MOT passes confirm minimum legal standards only and do not measure component life remaining. Given the absence of flagged defects across five consecutive tests, previous ownership points to routine servicing and basic upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. The low defect count reduces immediate risk but does not exempt the car from age-related degradation in rubber mounts, coolant system, and clutch wear unseen by MOT scrutiny.
