2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · BV09 MXK

The 2009 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 March 2026 at 77,895 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. The records show 51,446 miles in February 2022, rising to 59,823 by February 2023, 67,882 by February 2024, 73,239 by February 2025, and 77,895 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 4,500 to 5,200 miles added each year, with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The consistently low figures and five consecutive passes with zero advisories suggest the previous keeper used the car lightly and kept up with basic servicing, though the sparse record gives no visibility of consumable replacement intervals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage and long standing periods can allow corrosion to develop on structural members, subframes, and brake lines even when the tester logs no active rust. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs may show age-related degradation that a pass with no advisories does not capture. Verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and underbody protection in person. Check for fluid leaks, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions against the manufacturer's spec. The MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults, but the absence of advisories across five years reflects only the test-day snapshot, not the car's true wear state.
