2017 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · X15 RCA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 18 March 2026 at 66,111 miles with no defects recorded, and the previous four annual tests all resulted in clean passes with no advisories or items requiring immediate attention. This is a notably consistent record across five consecutive years, indicating the vehicle has maintained roadworthiness without recurring mechanical or structural issues. The maintenance trend is stable, with no pattern of deterioration, repeated faults, or escalating problems emerging over the test period. The recorded mileage of 66,111 miles at approximately nine years old reflects an average of around 7,346 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression between tests is steady and logical, increasing by roughly 10,000 to 11,000 miles annually across each test cycle, with no sudden jumps or unexplained gaps that might suggest clocking or irregular use. The linear nature of the odometer readings provides confidence in the integrity of the mileage record. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of certain wear-sensitive components. The Ford Focus is known for suspension bush wear, particularly on the front lower control arms and rear trailing arm bushes, which can develop play over time even if they have not yet reached a failing threshold at the time of each test. Brake callipers on this model are prone to binding, and the brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining service life. The clutch and dual-mass flywheel are common wear items at this mileage, and any hesitation or shudder under load would warrant closer investigation. Tyre condition, wheel bearings, and steering rack gaiters should also be checked in person, as these fall below the MOT inspection threshold until they become pronounced.
