2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · MX17 KGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 at 142,219 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable. The record shows a clean history with no recorded defects or advisories across multiple years, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a state of consistent compliance. The mileage is high for a nine year old car, averaging roughly 15,802 miles per year. There has been a significant increase in usage recently. Between 48,054 miles on 3 October 2022 and 142,219 miles in September 2025, the car covered nearly 94,000 miles in under three years. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy motorway use or professional fleet application, which typically puts more stress on the drivetrain and suspension than urban driving. The absence of MOT advisories is unusual for a vehicle with this mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should manually verify the condition of high-wear consumables. Focus on the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake discs and pads, as these are often replaced between tests and would not appear as faults in a pass certificate. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking. Given the high mileage, checking for any signs of oil leaks around the engine and gearbox is essential. The lack of structural corrosion flags in the MOT history is positive, but a physical check of the underbody for surface rust remains prudent given the vehicle's age and usage.
