2009 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · CK59 AEA

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The test conducted on 15 August 2024 at 60,457 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car is currently in a sound mechanical state. The absence of advisories across the last three successful inspections suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or deteriorating structural integrity. With a total of 60,457 miles accumulated over 17 years, the vehicle averages approximately 3,556 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. The mileage progression remains steady and logical, showing a consistent usage pattern between 2020 and 2024. The brief gap between the failed test on 30 December 2022 and the subsequent pass on 31 December 2022 appears to be an administrative anomaly or a minor rectification, as no defects were listed for either entry. This low-mileage history suggests the car has likely been used for short, infrequent journeys rather than high-speed motorway commuting. Potential buyers should prioritize a physical inspection of consumable components that often degrade during periods of light use or standing. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of rubber suspension bushes, brake hoses, and engine mounts, as these items perish over time regardless of mileage. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on the subframes and sills, as the low annual mileage may have resulted in the vehicle sitting for extended periods, potentially trapping moisture. Verify the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking and ensure the timing belt replacement interval has been respected, as this is a critical maintenance item not captured by the MOT testing process.
