2009 Ford Focus 1.4L Petrol · YR58 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent history of passing inspections despite its age. The most recent test in March 2024 at 115,962 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just three days prior. This suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing immediate faults to ensure the vehicle remains roadlegal. Given that the current date is June 2026, the vehicle is now two years overdue for its annual MOT, necessitating an immediate inspection to verify its current condition. The recorded mileage of 115,962 miles over 17 years averages to approximately 6,800 miles per year. This low annual usage is consistent with a light-use commuter vehicle, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows a steady progression between 2022 and 2024, with the car covering roughly 7,900 miles in that two-year period. However, the gap in data since March 2024 indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary or been used infrequently, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake fluid. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and underbody, as the clean MOT records cannot predict hidden corrosion. Low-mileage vehicles of this era often suffer from seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes due to age rather than mechanical wear. Check for signs of binding brakes or structural rust on the exhaust system, which are common on the Ford Focus. Because the vehicle is significantly past its test date, a thorough check of fluid levels and tyre integrity is required to ensure no mechanical issues have developed during the recent period of inactivity.
