2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WV17 LSU

The 2017 Ford Focus stands roadworthy under its most recent MOT pass dated 18 March 2026 at 62,409 miles, and the maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable with no defects or advisories recorded in any test. An earlier attempt on the same day at 62,401 miles produced a failure with no defects logged, a peculiarity that points to a procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. Prior examinations from March 2023 through March 2025 returned consecutive clean passes, confirming consistent statutory compliance. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old hatchback. The odometer read 38,895 miles on 16 March 2023, rose to 45,513 by 15 March 2024, then 52,932 on 14 March 2025, and reached 62,409 at the March 2026 tests. Annual increments of roughly 6,600 to 9,500 miles reflect light-to-moderate private use, with no abrupt gaps or excessive drift. The sparse annual record shows no warning signs of deferred servicing, though the unexplained fail entry warrants a check against DVSA backend notes. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of core components despite the absent advisories. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and assess structural integrity for corrosion around sills and subframes. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but a pass certificate does not probe deep wear on consumables like tyres or wiper blades beyond test-day thresholds. Verify the circumstances of the 18 March 2026 failure with no defects, as the eight-mile gap before the pass suggests a retest after minor correction or data error. Confirm service invoices to corroborate the low annual mileage and satisfy yourself that exhaust emissions and drivetrain remain within spec for the 1.0-litre EcoBoost or equivalent unit.
