2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · AF09 OGN

The 2009 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 15 May 2024 at 132,942 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2022 and 2023 also closed as passes, though each test date shows an initial fail with no defects logged, indicating administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle shows no escalating advisories or recurring wear items across the available record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,820 miles, typical for a seventeen-year-old car. The gap between the 10 March 2022 test at 123,551 miles and the 6 June 2023 test at 131,180 miles covers 7,629 miles in fifteen months, a normal use rate. From June 2023 to May 2024 the car added only 1,762 miles, suggesting lighter running in the final year. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns ever raised. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on UK roads. The clean MOT record does not exempt the Focus from age-related degradation of coil springs, binding calipers, or worn suspension mounts that testers may not have flagged under pass criteria. Verify service history to confirm consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were replaced outside the test regime.
