2017 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · SA17 ELO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 6 August 2025 at 61,277 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across the last five years indicates that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a professional standard, proactively addressing mechanical or structural issues before they trigger MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum. Between the August 2021 test at 51,060 miles and the 2025 test at 61,277 miles, the car covered 10,217 miles. This steady rate suggests regular usage which typically benefits the vehicle's drivetrain and suspension components compared to stationary cars. The lack of significant gaps in mileage data indicates the vehicle has not sat for long periods that might cause fluid degradation or tyre flat. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults such as leaking seals or binding calipers, an in-person inspection should focus on components that degrade with age rather than mileage. A buyer should check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes for cracking and inspect the coil springs for surface corrosion or stress fractures. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, which can often occur on vehicles that are not driven frequently enough to keep the rotors clean through friction.
