2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · RV67 VRM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets safety standards following minor test failures. While there were recorded failures in 2023 and 2025, the immediate subsequent passes with no recorded defects suggest that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues to keep the vehicle legal for the road. The mileage profile is significantly high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,400 miles per year. This indicates consistent, heavy usage rather than long periods of inactivity. There is a notable surge in activity between October 2023 and October 2025, where the car covered over 37,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation suggests frequent long-distance motorway driving, which places specific mechanical demands on the drivetrain and chassis components compared to lower-mileage examples. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically checking for worn control arm bushes and ball joints, which often degrade at this stage. Special attention should also be paid to the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as high-mileage cars can suffer from thinning material or seizing. Checking the underbody for any structural corrosion on the exhaust or mounting lines is advisable to ensure the high usage has not compromised the long-term integrity of the frame.
