2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · PX17 XLZ

The vehicle currently stands on the verge of roadworthiness, as its MOT record indicates it has not passed the current test date of 2026-06-17. The most recent test, dated 2025-07-03, passed successfully at 39,254 miles with no recorded defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. However, the history reveals a critical gap in the record where the vehicle failed on 2024-07-02 at 31,573 miles, indicating a significant drop-off in performance or a failure to address identified faults. This failure occurred during a period when the vehicle was still under 32,000 miles, highlighting a potential pattern of neglect or a lack of proactive inspection. Regarding the mileage context, the vehicle is approximately 9 years old with 39,254 recorded miles, which is relatively low for its age class. While the low mileage suggests lighter use or long periods of inactivity, the data shows rapid accumulation of wear on consumables, specifically the offside front brake hydraulic reservoir, which is approaching the minimum mark. This rapid accumulation of wear, combined with the failure on 2024-07-02, indicates that the vehicle is not currently in the best state for safe driving. The gap between the 2025 test and the 2024 failure suggests that the vehicle may have been driven for a considerable distance without adequate servicing, potentially leading to increased risk of failure. Given the recurring faults and the structural risks identified, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in a physical presence. The most urgent concerns are the nearside front side repeater and mirror indicator failure, which pose a safety hazard. Additionally, the offside front brake reservoir is close to the minimum mark, and the front inner brake pads are wearing thin, indicating potential failure points. The nearside rear tyre has been slightly damaged or cracked, and the offside rear nail is present, suggesting that the suspension and drivetrain components are under stress. The buyer should check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers for wear, and examine the exhaust emissions and structural integrity for rust or corrosion. These inspections are critical to prevent future accidents and to determine if the vehicle's mechanical condition has deteriorated beyond acceptable limits.
