2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AF59 OKW

The 2009 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 28 August 2025 at 113,134 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record, with the three most recent annual tests showing clean passes and no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. The vehicle has clearly been presented for test in a condition that meets the minimum legal standard each year. Recorded mileage sits at 113,134 against an August 2025 test, equating to roughly 6,655 miles per year since registration, which is typical for a 17-year-old family hatchback. The history shows 95,134 miles at the August 2023 test, 106,540 miles in August 2024, and 113,134 in August 2025, giving a steady annual accumulation of around 9,000 to 11,000 miles over the logged period. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data, and the sparse record of only five entries means we cannot assess earlier years, but the recent pattern implies consistent moderate use rather than long standing or neglect. The August 2024 and August 2023 tests each show an initial failure followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileages, with no defects recorded against either outcome. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, as the car met standards within hours. A buyer should still verify the V5C and test certificate numbers, since repeated same-day fail-pass cycles without listed defects warrant confirmation that no suppressed advisory existed. In person, the buyer should inspect the usual high-age items the record does not cover: front suspension arms and rear axle bushes for play, brake calipers for binding, exhaust emissions against the Euro 4 limit, and underbody structural members for corrosion. The clean MOT trail gives no warning of active defects, but a 17-year-old Focus at 113,134 miles will carry consumable wear the annual test does not always flag.
