2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · RE67 BKD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive repairs. While the car passed its most recent MOT on 29 October 2025 at 87,981 miles, it failed that same day due to an insecurely mounted nearside front hydraulic brake caliper. This indicates a critical safety component was overlooked until the test forced attention. The continued presence of a non-excessive oil leak noted during the pass suggests a persistent issue that has not yet been rectified by the owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,776 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 62,470 miles in October 2022 to 87,981 miles in October 2025, representing an increase of roughly 25,500 miles over three years. This regular usage suggests typical road wear rather than long periods of standing, which explains the gradual degradation observed on rubber-based components and suspension elements noted throughout the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system to ensure the previously failed caliper is now secured and that no further hydraulic instability is present. The history shows recurring issues with tyres, specifically the offside rear and nearside rear being flagged for uneven wear or damage across almost every test, which points to poor wheel alignment or neglected tyre maintenance. Furthermore, the light misting on the rear shock absorbers recorded in 2022 and 2023 should be checked for signs of developing failure, and the persistent oil leak mentioned in 2025 requires a definitive source to ensure it is not nearing a critical limit.
