2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · MX17 XNB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 8 January 2026 at 87,745 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2025 and late 2023, suggesting that the mechanical and structural integrity has remained consistent over the last several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,750 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 11,321 miles recorded between December 2023 and January 2025, followed by a similar 11,592-mile interval between January 2025 and January 2026. This steady accumulation suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often benefits the health of rubber components and seals and prevents seizing in the braking system. While the recent records are clear of advisories, the failure recorded on 25 January 2023 at 58,707 miles indicates a specific issue required immediate rectification prior to the successful pass. Because the record does not specify the nature of that failure, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common Focus wear points for this era, such as rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust mounting. Given the age and mileage, checking for surface corrosion on the sills and the condition of the brake discs remains prudent to ensure no hidden degradation has occurred since the last clean test.
