2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · OV17 AEM

The 2017 Ford Focus presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the 6 March 2026 test at 93,618 miles, where the DVSA examiner recorded no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with five consecutive annual passes spanning 2022 to 2026. Each test returned a fault-free result, indicating the previous keeper addressed any required work before each examination. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 50,661 miles at the 1 March 2022 test, rising to 63,072 by 16 March 2023, 73,802 by 21 March 2024, 83,989 by 26 March 2025, and 93,618 by 6 March 2026. Annual increments average roughly 10,400 miles, matching the expected norm. No gaps appear beyond the standard twelve-month cycle, and the clean sheets suggest the owner prioritised scheduled maintenance rather than deferring consumable replacement. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and near-94,000-mile tally. The tester flagged no corrosion or structural concerns across the series, yet Ford Focus platforms can develop subframe rust and worn rear trailing arm bushes unseen during a brief MOT ramp check. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades, though these minor items would not have caused failure if within limits. The consistent pass rate implies previous owners kept the vehicle to a reasonable standard, with no evidence of neglected basics such as tyre tread or exhaust emissions. Prospective purchasers should confirm service history paperwork to corroborate the MOT clean sweep, and scrutinise the drivetrain for age-related fatigue not captured by the annual test.
