2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · NL66 AFE

This Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of mechanical health. The most recent test on 28 April 2025 at 79,379 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any noted advisories, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents the accumulation of common wear-and-tear faults. The mileage is typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,820 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between February 2023 and April 2024, where the odometer climbed from 63,446 to 75,255 miles. This period of higher activity did not result in any recorded mechanical failures or advisories, indicating the drivetrain and chassis handled the increased load without significant degradation. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the brake discs and pads for thinning, as the MOT only flags these when they reach a critical limit. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also advisable to ensure no degradation has occurred that fell below the tester's threshold for failure. The history shows two instances where the vehicle failed before passing on the same day, specifically in March 2024 and April 2025. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures, these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly. There are no recurring trends of corrosion or mechanical instability to suggest structural risk.
