FORD FOCUS2009 · 2.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 45,595 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and structural components remain in stable condition. This trend suggests a proactive maintenance approach where the owner has addressed or prevented the common failures typically seen on a Focus of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. The data shows a significant drop in usage between August 2021 at 47,768 miles and August 2022 at 43,207 miles, though the subsequent years show even lower activity with only 2,388 miles covered between the 2022 and 2025 tests. While this low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than distance. Given the low mileage, check for cracking in suspension bushes, perished tyres, and seized brake calipers which often occur from infrequent use. Inspect the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for surface corrosion, as the MOT test only identifies structural rust once it reaches a specific depth. Ensure the engine oil and fluids have been changed annually, as the intervals between tests may not reflect the necessary chemical maintenance.
