2009 FORD FOCUS1.6L Petrol

The 2009 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 26 June 2025 at 84,245 miles which recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 18 June 2021 through to the 2025 test passed cleanly, with the tester logging no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across that four-year span. The odometer shows 84,245 miles against a 17-year lifespan, an average of roughly 4,956 miles per year. The records chart gentle annual gains: 75,865 miles in June 2021, 77,563 in June 2022, 79,785 in June 2023, 81,325 in July 2024, and 84,245 in June 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. Such low, consistent use implies the car sat lightly employed, though extended standing can still permit corrosion or perished rubber on seldom-loaded parts. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension arms for hidden rust, since MOT passes with zero advisories do not rule out early structural scaling on a vehicle of this age. Check the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and flexible brake hoses for age-related degradation rather than wear, given the limited miles covered. The clean test history suggests prior owners kept basic upkeep current and avoided deferred consumable replacement. With no recurring faults flagged, the Focus shows no worsening mechanical trend, but a pre-purchase check of coil springs and binding calipers remains sensible on any 2009 hatchback.
