2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CK59 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent history of passing despite occasional setbacks. The most recent test conducted in April 2023 at 137,079 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two miles prior. This suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing immediate MOT failures to ensure legal compliance, and the mechanical trend does not show signs of degradation over the last three recorded tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over fourteen months between July 2020 and September 2021, during which the car covered 9,228 miles. Since the April 2023 test, the vehicle has not undergone a recorded MOT for over three years based on the current date. While the relatively low annual mileage reduces the expected wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, it also increases the risk of age-related perish of rubber components and fluid degradation due to periods of of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the MOT record does not detail specific advisories. Given the vehicle is seventeen years old, a close-up check for corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and brake lines is essential. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing or cracking, which often fail on older Focus models regardless of mileage. Because the last MOT is now overdue, a thorough check of the braking system for binding calipers or uneven wear is required to ensure no new mechanical faults have developed since the 2023 certification.
