2017 Ford Focus RS 2.3L Petrol · SY17 VRL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes across five consecutive tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 July 2024 at 49,905 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This lack of recorded failures suggests the previous owners have proactively addressed vehicle requirements and avoided the mechanical degradation often seen in high-performance Ford models. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,545 miles per year. There is a visible gap in records between the March 2020 test at 27,823 miles and the June 2021 test at 37,810 miles, representing a period of higher usage. However, since 2022, the accumulation has remained steady at roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles annually. This low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to dry seals or brake disc corrosion. While the MOT record shows no mechanical faults, a buyer must inspect for issues associated with low-mileage performance cars. Components such as rubber suspension bushes and coil springs can perish or crack due to age regardless of distance travelled. The buyer should also check the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear, as infrequent use can prevent the calipers from cleaning effectively. Given the vehicle's nature, a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for early structural corrosion is necessary to ensure the under integrity remains sound despite the clean digital history.
