2009 Ford Focus Zetec 125 1.8L Petrol · YKZ 4001

The 2009 Ford Focus Zetec 125 remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance record. The most recent MOT on 20 June 2023 at 118 003 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle has not accumulated fault trends over its life. The preceding tests in March 2022, December 2019 and December 2018 all returned passes, indicating a consistent pattern of no recorded issues. Mileage accumulation shows a typical rate of roughly 6 941 miles per year. Between March 2022 (111 693 miles) and June 2023 (118 003 miles) the vehicle added about 6 310 miles in 15 months, which aligns with normal usage. Earlier intervals reveal a slower pace: from December 2018 (91 362 miles) to December 2019 (99 892 miles) the mileage rose 8 530 miles in 13 months, and the gap from December 2019 to March 2022 added 11 801 miles over 27 months. These variations suggest periods of lighter use, possibly due to storage or reduced driving, but overall the mileage growth remains within expected bounds for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. Even with a clean MOT history, a buyer should conduct a hands‑on inspection of key wear items. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, test the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and examine tyre tread depth and pressure. Look for signs of corrosion on the chassis, exhaust mounts and underbody panels, especially around wheel arches. Verify that the steering rack shows no excessive play and that the drivetrain mounts are secure. A visual check of the battery terminals and coolant condition is also advisable, as these consumables are not captured in MOT defect logs.
