2017 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · PL67 GUD

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 14 August 2025 at 63,616 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a five-year streak of flawless test results, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in this model. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a nine-year-old car. The distance increased by 6,792 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, and by another 6,792 miles leading up to the August 2025 test. This linear usage pattern suggests the car has avoided long periods of standing, which reduces the risk of seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories, there are no specific red flags regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion. The absence of any flagged brake wear or tyre tread issues over five years suggests a proactive approach to consumable replacement by the previous owner. A physical inspection should still focus on standard wear items that MOT testers may overlook if they are within legal limits but nearing the end of their service life. Check the condition of the brake discs for lip wear and inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking. Given the clean record, the primary goal is to verify that the physical condition of the interior and bodywork matches the mechanical diligence shown in the DVSA data.
