2009 Ford Focus Style TD 109 1.6L Diesel · RNZ 6046

The vehicle demonstrated roadworthiness in its most recent MOT on 2023-12-13 at 149,083 miles, with no defects recorded. The prior test in 2022-10-22 at 143,998 miles also passed, though a failed test on 2022-10-04 at 143,854 miles—without recorded defects—suggests potential inconsistency in maintenance practices. No recurring mechanical issues are evident from the record, and the absence of advisories or critical failures indicates a stable maintenance trend. However, the gap between the last MOT and today’s date (2026-07-16) exceeds the legal requirement, raising concerns about unverified compliance since 2023. The vehicle’s mileage of 149,083 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 8,770 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows no significant spikes in mileage accumulation, with tests spaced approximately 12–14 months apart. Notably, the failed 2022-10-04 test occurred just 18 days before a subsequent pass at 143,998 miles, implying a possible retest after minor corrections. The record lacks detailed defect descriptions, which limits insight into specific maintenance priorities but suggests no overt structural or mechanical deterioration. A buyer should verify the current MOT status and inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for wear, as does the exhaust system for corrosion. The absence of rust-related advisories is positive, but a thorough underbody check is recommended. No evidence of recurring issues exists in the record, but the extended gap since the last MOT necessitates a professional inspection to confirm continued roadworthiness.
