2009 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · A21 SBO

The 2009 Ford Focus presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 99,166 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes stretching back through 11 February 2025, 11 January 2024, 11 January 2023, and 17 December 2021. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no advisories across this five-test span, indicating the vehicle has been presented in a condition that meets statutory standards each time. Recorded mileage sits at 99,166 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 5,833 miles per year. The odometer moved only 452 miles between the December 2021 test at 91,845 and the January 2023 test at 95,708, then rose modestly to 97,434 by January 2024, 98,714 by February 2025, and 99,166 by January 2026. This low, gradually accumulating pattern points to light use with possible extended standing periods, though the clean test history suggests the previous keeper kept the car serviced despite the limited running. No tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues at any point in the record. The absence of advisories means the DVSA inspectors found no minor consumable wear or serious structural risk worth noting on the dates above. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe for hidden rust, check the age of tyres and brake fluid given the low mileage, and confirm the cambelt interval for a 2009 petrol unit has been observed. The MOT data alone gives no evidence of recurring faults or deferred upkeep. The consistent passes imply the prior owner addressed items before each test rather than letting them slide to advisory status. On this record the car reads as a low-mileage, well-maintained example, but an independent underside and fluid check remains sensible before purchase.
