2017 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · RK67 MXF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test on 24 July 2025 at 113,258 miles showed a pass following an initial failure for structural damage to both nearside and offside front tyres. While the vehicle cleared the re-test, the recurring failures for basic consumable items suggest the owner only addresses faults once they fail a legal inspection. At 113,258 miles over nine years, this Focus has covered an average of approximately 12,600 miles per annum. The data shows consistent high-mile usage, with 8,435 miles clocked between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests. This high mileage profile for a vehicle of this age places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. The consistency of the annual testing suggests the car is used regularly, which is generally better for seal integrity compared to vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the braking system, as the nearside rear hydraulic caliper was flagged for leaking in July 2024 at 104,823 miles. Even if replaced, high-mileage vehicles often suffer from uneven wear or seized sliders in remaining calipers. The history also highlights a need to check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, which typically degrade rapidly after the hundred-thousand mile mark. Given the previous failures for exposed tyre cords, a thorough check of the current tyre sidewalls is also essential to ensure no further structural damage exists.
