2009 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · AC58 EBZ

The 2009 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 December 2023 at 171,835 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test. The owner maintained the vehicle to a passable standard at each successful examination. Recorded mileage rose from 161,888 in the October 2021 test to 168,133 by November 2022, then to 171,835 by December 2023. That equates to roughly 6,245 miles in the first interval and 3,702 in the second, both below the 10,108 annual average for the car's age. The DVSA data is sparse, showing only five entries across two years, yet each clean pass indicates no neglected consumable or structural issues were logged. The record shows two failed tests on 11 October 2021 and 2 November 2022 at identical mileages of 161,888 and 168,133, though the tester recorded no defects on either occasion. Such outcomes typically point to administrative or presentation errors at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault on the vehicle. A buyer should still verify the V5C and test certificate details match, given the zero-defect failures. In person, the buyer should confirm tyre tread depth, suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion match the clean MOT record, since no advisories were ever raised to warn of wear. At 17 years old and 171,835 miles, inspect coil springs and exhaust emissions for age-related fatigue not captured by the pass results.
