2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · AM58 UNN

The 2009 Ford Focus remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-12-06 at 160,964 miles, which recorded no defects. However, the vehicle’s maintenance history reveals inconsistent testing outcomes, including a failed MOT on 2024-11-14 at 155,295 miles with no defects noted, and a duplicate test on 2023-11-27 that also failed without recorded issues. These anomalies suggest potential administrative errors or unreported minor faults, but the absence of recorded defects in the last two passes indicates a stable condition. The vehicle’s mechanical systems appear to meet legal standards, though recurring testing without defects may mask underlying wear. The car’s mileage of 160,964 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 9,468 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT records show consistent annual testing, with no significant gaps between assessments. The 2024-11-15 pass at 155,300 miles followed a 2023-11-27 pass at 152,474 miles, indicating steady but unremarkable mileage progression. No rapid accumulation or prolonged inactivity is evident, suggesting regular use. The lack of consumable-related defects, such as tyre wear or fluid leaks, further supports this pattern, though no data on servicing intervals is provided. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly given the car’s age, as bushings and coil springs may show wear. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but visual inspection of brake discs and calipers is advised to confirm no hidden corrosion or binding. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or panel damage could affect safety. While the MOT history lacks critical failures, the vehicle’s longevity and consistent testing suggest it has been maintained to a basic standard, though deeper mechanical scrutiny is recommended before purchase.
