2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · BV59 BHP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the clean result of its most recent MOT inspection. The latest test, conducted in October 2023 at 113,954 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the minimum standard at that time. While the history shows failures in 2021 and 2023, the immediate passes upon retests suggest the owner was proactive in addressing specific faults identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2023, the car covered 6,258 miles, moving from 107,696 to 113,954 miles. This low annual usage suggests light road use, which typically preserves the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals. Given that the last test was over two and a half years ago, the current MOT status is technically expired and requires an immediate inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and suspension components, as these older Ford Focus models are prone to corrosion in the sills and subframes. Although the record lacks specific recurring advisories, the age of the vehicle makes checking for perished suspension bushes and worn control arm shock absorbers essential despite the low mileage. Verify the brake system for signs of pitting or fluid degradation, as low-mile vehicles often suffer from internal corrosion due to long periods of inactivity.
