Our Verdict
This Ford Focus WU67VVG presents as a sensible used buy, supported by a clean five-test MOT history and mileage that tracks consistently with model averages. Buyers should still carry out the usual pre-purchase checks on a nearly nine-year-old petrol Focus, but the recorded test record offers reassurance.
With five consecutive clean MOT passes and no recorded advisories, this Focus has avoided the tyre, headlamp and corrosion issues that feature heavily in the broader model's failure data. That said, MOT records only cover testable items at the time of examination, so a physical inspection is still essential — particularly for a car approaching nine years old. Ask to see the service book and confirm that cambelt (or in the case of the 1.0 EcoBoost, the timing chain) has been inspected at the recommended intervals, and check that oil changes have been carried out regularly to protect the EcoBoost engine from the carbon build-up issues that have affected some units.
Given the 72,334-mile odometer reading, expect normal wear items such as brake discs, pads and tyres to need attention at some point during ownership. A test drive should focus on cold starting (EcoBoost engines can be prone to rough idling if neglected), clutch bite point, and any warning lights on the dashboard. The SYNC infotainment screen is also worth checking for dead pixels or Bluetooth connectivity issues, which are common complaints on 2017-model-year Foci.
The 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol unit is one of the more economical engines in the Focus range, typically returning 50-55 mpg on a combined cycle according to manufacturer figures, though real-world figures in the 45-50 mpg bracket are more realistic for a car of this age and mileage. Road tax for a September 2017 petrol Focus sits in a reasonable bracket, though exact costs depend on the list price recorded at first registration. Insurance group ratings for the 1.0 EcoBoost are among the lowest in the Focus line-up, generally landing in groups 8-12 depending on trim.
Routine maintenance for this engine is relatively affordable, with annual servicing typically costing £150-£250 at an independent garage, and major items such as brake fluid changes and spark plug replacement adding modest sums. With the car now approaching 75,000 miles, budgeting for tyres (£300-£400 for a full set), front brake discs and pads (around £250 fitted), and potentially a clutch in the medium term is sensible.
Although the MOT history shows no failures or advisories across five tests, the most common failure points for the Focus overall are tyres, headlamps and corrosion — all worth examining in person. Check the tread depth across all four tyres (including the spare), look for uneven wear that might indicate tracking or suspension issues, and inspect headlamp lenses for clouding, which is a frequent advisable item on cars of this age. Corrosion tends to appear around wheel arches, sills and the rear hatch on Foci of this generation, so a thorough walk-round with a torch is worthwhile.
For the 1.0 EcoBoost engine specifically, listen for any rattle on cold start which could suggest timing chain wear, and check for oil leaks around the cam cover and turbocharger. The water pump is another known weakness on early EcoBoost units, so confirm any history of cooling system work. Inside the car, test all electrical items including windows, mirrors, climate control and infotainment, and check the operation of the handbrake, which can seize on Foci that have spent time parked outdoors.
First registered in September 2017, this 1.0-litre petrol Ford Focus has accumulated 72,334 miles across five consecutive MOT passes, with no advisories or failures recorded on any test. Annual mileage of roughly 11,000 miles sits above the Ford Focus model average of 6,873 miles, but the even progression between tests suggests steady use rather than erratic driving patterns. The 999cc EcoBoost petrol engine is a common UK variant, and the vehicle's white bodywork is the most popular colour for the model, which can help residual values.
Across 1,093,952 Ford Focus vehicles analysed, the average MOT pass rate is 79.1%, with tyres, headlamps and corrosion the most common failure reasons. This individual record outperforms that average significantly.
