Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a small
When viewing this Red Focus, check the service history to see how the previous owner managed the 1.0L EcoBoost engine, specifically regarding timing belt intervals. Although the most recent MOTs in 2023, 2024, and 2025 were passed with no defects, you should still verify that all previous advisory items, such as the exhaust corrosion noted in 2021, have been addressed.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 85,673 miles, it has been driven more intensively than the aggregate average of 6,869 miles per year. Ensure the recent replacement of wiper blades (noted as defective in 2022) and tyres (noted as perishing in 2021) are reflected in the current condition of the consumables.
The 999cc petrol engine is typically positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it economical for urban driving. Fuel economy should be competitive for a hatchback of this size, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for the Focus are generally predictable, but with the mileage now exceeding 85,000, you should budget for wear-and-tear items like brake discs and tyres, which have appeared as issues in this vehicle's specific MOT history. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be moderate.
Pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle. While the 2021 MOT noted exhaust corrosion and the 2022 test mentioned undertrays, you should inspect the exhaust system and mounting points for any signs of progressive rust.
Additionally, check the condition of the braking system. The 2021 record indicated worn or pitted front brake discs, so ensure the current discs and pads have sufficient life remaining. Finally, inspect the windscreen wipers and the condition of the tyres, as these were specific points of failure or advisory in the 2021 and 2022 inspections.
This 2017 Ford Focus features the 999cc petrol engine and has covered 85,673 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The vehicle's history shows a transition from several advisories and minor defects in 2021 and 2022 to a completely clean record over the last three years. Given the model aggregate data, this vehicle's mileage is significantly higher than the average annual mileage recorded for this model type.
The Ford Focus is a high-volume model with a 79.1% average MOT pass rate across the dataset provided.
