2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AF59 HWS

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition regarding its recent MOT history, having passed its most recent test on 3 July 2025 at 78,429 miles with no defects recorded. The records show a consistent pattern of passing the test following previous failures, suggesting that identified issues are being addressed promptly. The transition from failure to pass in both the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates a proactive approach to maintaining roadworthiness, as the vehicle successfully cleared all previous faults to achieve a clean certificate. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2009 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,613 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 71,683 miles in July 2023 to 74,864 miles in June 2024, and finally to 78,429 miles in July 2025. This low annual usage suggests the car has seen light use or has spent significant time stationary. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to deterioration in rubber components and seals due to lack of regular operation. A physical inspection should focus on components that typically suffer during periods of infrequent use. You should check for perished suspension bushes, cracked sidewalls on the tyres, and any signs of corrosion on the underbody or exhaust system. Because the car has been driven relatively little, it is worth inspecting the brake discs for surface pitting or uneven corrosion and ensuring the calipers are not binding. Given the low mileage, the mechanical health of the engine should be a priority. Check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay and listen for any irregular idling that might suggest moisture ingress in the fuel or lubrication systems. The overall maintenance trend is positive, but the low usage profile necessitates a close look at all perishable rubber and hydraulic components to ensure they remain supple and functional.
