2017 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · YY67 WFD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of consistent passes. The most recent test in April 2026 at 25,225 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all legal requirements. This recent clean sheet suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2022 and October 2024, where the car covered only 1,060 miles over over sixteen months. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber. The 2022 test at 10,497 miles flagged perishing on the front tyres, which is a common symptom of vehicles that sit for long periods without regular use. A physical inspection should focus on components obscured by aftermarket additions mentioned in previous tests. In 2021, the tester noted that under trays and floor pan covers prevented a full inspection of inner CV gaiters and fuel or brake pipes. A buyer must verify that these gaiters are free of tears and that the brake lines show no signs of corrosion beneath the covers. Given the low annual mileage, the brake discs should be checked for surface pitting or seizing, as infrequent use can cause calipers to stick or rotors to rust heavily.
