2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · SC17 VUP

The 2017 Ford Focus presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 23 October 2025 at 70,791 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the strongest indicator of current roadworthiness in the entire history. The vehicle has moved from advisories flagged in 2022 to three consecutive passes with no items raised, suggesting the last owner addressed tyre wear and has maintained the car consistently since. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a nine-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,866 miles per year. The record shows a notable jump of 19,399 miles between the October 2023 test at 39,734 miles and the October 2024 test at 59,133 miles, indicating a period of heavier use. The most recent year saw far gentler covering, with only 11,658 miles added between October 2024 and October 2025. No gaps appear in the annual test pattern, and the mileage progression reads as plausible and consistent with genuine use rather than clocking anomalies. The only recorded defects appeared in the July 2022 test at 23,913 miles, when both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and flagged for edge wear, cracking, and perishing. That pattern points to a period of neglected basic upkeep, but the subsequent clean passes suggest the tyres were replaced and no further deterioration has been flagged. A buyer should still inspect the current tyre condition carefully, paying attention to inner edge wear and sidewall age cracking, as well as checking the suspension bushes and front wheel alignment given the earlier uneven wear pattern. The brake discs, calipers, and exhaust system also warrant a physical check, since the clean MOT record confirms legal compliance but does not rule out early-stage wear or surface corrosion that a test would not capture at this mileage.
