2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · WR17 WBL

The 2017 Ford Focus with 67,255 miles demonstrates stable roadworthiness, as evidenced by its most recent MOT on 2025-10-15, which passed with no defects. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across seven consecutive annual inspections suggests the vehicle has been well cared for, with no recurring faults in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,473 miles annually. Gaps between MOTs range from 10 to 12 months, with mileage increasing steadily from 29,773 miles in 2022 to 67,255 miles in 2025. No abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity are evident, which reduces risks of corrosion or component degradation from standing. The clean record through five tests implies minimal wear on consumables like tyres or wiper blades, though this does not preclude routine checks for hidden issues. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be tested for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop gradually. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody corrosion, especially around the chassis rails, warrant scrutiny, as these areas may not trigger MOT failures until significant damage occurs. The vehicle’s history suggests reliability, but physical verification remains essential.
