2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WN17 AEP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes following an early failure. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 73,028 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This trend suggests that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle effectively and has addressed any potential issues proactively over the last four years. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Data shows steady progression between tests, moving from 53,844 miles in August 2022 to 68,949 miles in August 2024, and reaching 73,028 miles by late 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary neglect or extreme high-mileage cycles that accelerate component fatigue. While the recent records are clean, the failure in October 2021 at 46,553 miles marks a point where the vehicle required immediate attention. Given the age of the Ford Focus, a physical inspection should focus on the suspension components, specifically the front arm bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points on this model. The buyer should also examine the brake discs for excessive corrosion and check the exhaust system for structural thinning, as the MOT record does not detail the state of these consumable mechanical items until they reach a failure threshold.
