Our Verdict
Approach with caution and budget for suspension and steering work before purchase. This 2009 Ford Focus has a mostly passing MOT record but shows recurring front suspension bush wear and a 2016 failure for a damaged valve stem.
Before buying GL09YPM, insist on a full service history to confirm routine maintenance has been kept up alongside the MOT passes recorded between 2014 and 2017. The 2016 MOT failure was for a seriously damaged nearside front valve stem, so check that all four tyres are in good condition with no sidewall or stem damage and that the issue was properly resolved. Given the repeated front suspension bush advisories, negotiate on price to allow for replacement of the front lower arms or bushes and inspection of the power steering pipes for seepage.
