Our Verdict
Recommended as a solid used option, prov
The primary area for negotiation and inspection is the tyre condition. The MOT history shows a failure in 2022 for tread depth, followed by advisories in 2024 for rear inner tyre cracking and 2025 for front inner tyre wear. You should verify if the current tyres have been replaced or if the vehicle requires a full set and a wheel alignment check to prevent further uneven wear.
Beyond the tyres, ensure the service history is complete for the 1.5L diesel engine. Check for evidence of regular oil changes and filter replacements, as these are critical for the longevity of this engine variant. Given the mileage, check for any recent replacements of wear-and-tear items like brake pads or discs.
The 1.5L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for higher-mileage drivers. Typical running costs will include a moderate annual road tax band for a 2017 diesel and a mid-range insurance group common for the Focus model.
Maintenance costs are generally predictable for this model, though the 18-inch wheels (235/40/18) can be more expensive to replace than smaller standard sizes. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are likely to fall between £1,200 and £1,600.
Carefully inspect the inner edges of all four tyres. The 2025 MOT specifically highlighted front inner tyre wear, and the 2024 test noted cracking on the rear inner tyres; this suggests a potential alignment issue or a pattern of wear that needs addressing. Ensure the current tyres are not perishing or worn beyond legal limits.
Additionally, refer to the model's aggregate data which identifies anti-roll bars and headlamps as common failure points. During your test drive, listen for knocks or rattles over uneven surfaces that could indicate anti-roll bar wear, and verify that all exterior lighting is functioning correctly.
This 2017 white Ford Focus diesel has recorded 70,970 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The vehicle's testing history is consistent, showing four passes and one failure. While the majority of tests were successful, there is a recurring pattern of tyre-related advisories and one failure in 2022.
Based on data from over one million vehicles, this model has an average MOT pass rate of 79.2%, with tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars being the most frequent failure points.
