2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · MW67 FVB

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, despite a significant safety failure in December 2023. Aside from a dangerous defect regarding exposed ply and cords on the nearside front tyre and an advisory for the offside rear tyre at that time, the vehicle has maintained a stable testing history. This trend of stability is reinforced by the most recent clean pass on 1 December 2025, as well as the two preceding annual tests which recorded no defects or advisories. The recorded mileage of 66,688 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,410 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This usage pattern suggests a balanced duty cycle, avoiding the risks associated with prolonged standing or the accelerated wear on drivetrain and suspension components often found in high-mileage examples. The regularity of the annual testing intervals confirms a consistent road-use profile without significant gaps in the vehicle's operational history. Given the 2023 failure for a dangerous tyre condition, a thorough inspection of the current tyre treads and sidewalls is essential to ensure consistent replacement intervals. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual road noise or vibrations that could indicate uneven tyre wear or alignment issues. Particular attention should be paid to the steering feel to ensure there is no pull to either side, which would correlate with the previous tyre wear patterns. The 2021 advisories regarding discoloured rear direction indicators should be checked to see if the lenses have since been replaced or if the clouding persists, as this can affect signal visibility. While the recent records are clean, the buyer should still verify the condition of the brake discs and suspension bushes, as these are common wear items for a vehicle of this mileage. Any knocking sounds over undulating surfaces or a soft brake pedal should be noted as areas requiring further mechanical investigation.
