2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · AD59 TXR

The 2009 Ford Focus presents a broadly stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 18 April 2023 at 138,625 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance history shows no escalating faults and no outstanding advisories carried forward, indicating the vehicle was presented in acceptable condition for its age at last examination. Recorded mileage rose from 121,090 at the 10 May 2022 test to 138,625 by April 2023, an annualised gain of roughly 17,500 miles against a lifetime average near 8,150. That near-doubling of use in the final recorded year suggests heavier than typical late-life driving. The DVSA log is sparse, showing only the 2022 and 2023 entries with clean results, so no wear pattern or recurring defect can be traced across multiple cycles. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as the MOT record offers no visibility of hidden fatigue on a seventeen-year-old chassis. The May 2022 entry lists both a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects cited, which points to an administrative retest rather than a mechanical repair, but confirms the vehicle cleared without flagged work. Given the clean advisories and stable pass record, previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory test compliance, though the thin history gives limited insight into consumable replacement discipline between tests. Pre-purchase checks should prioritise underside rust and drivetrain condition given the elevated final-year mileage.
