2009 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · CK59 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 October 2025 at 147,411 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emission standards. This follows several clean passes in the preceding years, suggesting that the current ownership has proactively addressed mechanical requirements before they escalate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the car covered 12,931 miles, representing a steady rate of use. A brief anomaly occurred in October 2023 when the vehicle failed a test at 128,117 miles but passed a retest the following day at 128,119 miles. This suggests a minor component failure or a lighting consumable issue that was rectified immediately without indicating a period of mechanical neglect. Despite the recent clean records, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity and suspension components common to Ford Focus models of this era. Given the high mileage, the buyer should check for perished control arm bushes and corroded coil springs, which often show wear at this stage. The inspector should also look for surface rust on the rear sills and mounting points, as the MOT only flags significant structural corrosion once it has compromised the frame. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear is also advisable to ensure the lack of recorded advisories reflects actual mechanical health.
