2009 Ford Focus Zetec 125 1.8L Other · RJZ 2857

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile based on the available MOT data. The most recent test on 18 February 2024 at 119,766 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of successful inspections dating back to at least 2019, suggesting a reliable upkeep regime that has successfully avoided major mechanical failures or structural issues during the recorded period. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 87,665 miles in January 2019 to 119,766 miles in February 2024. There are no signs of erratic usage or long periods of dormancy, which often lead to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. The gap between the 2020 and 2022 tests indicates a period of continuous use without any recorded lapses in compliance. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a physical inspection of age-related wear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure. A buyer should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components often degrade through fatigue despite a clean MOT record. Given the 17-year age of the Ford Focus, checking for underside corrosion on the sills and subframes is a necessary precaution to ensure structural integrity remains sound. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, pads, or tyre tread depth in the recent years suggests the previous owners managed consumables effectively. However, a manual check of the braking system for binding calipers and an inspection of all fluid levels and hoses remains standard practice. The lack of recorded emissions issues or exhaust defects provides confidence in the engine's current combustion efficiency and the integrity of the exhaust system.
