2009 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · CK59 AEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having secured a clean pass at 132,070 miles on 24 November 2023. While the record shows immediate retests following initial failures in both 2022 and 2023, the absence of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative or minor rectifications rather than systemic mechanical failures. The lack of recurring advisories over the past three years indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard, with no evidence of worsening structural or mechanical degradation. The recorded mileage of 132,070 over seventeen years aligns with typical usage patterns for this Ford Focus, averaging approximately 7,769 miles per annum. A notable increase in usage occurred between October 2021 and November 2022, where the odometer climbed by over 16,000 miles, followed by a similar increase of roughly 20,000 miles leading up to the November 2023 test. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has remained in active service rather than experiencing prolonged periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the underlying chassis and suspension components, as the current MOT history provides limited insight into hidden corrosion or wear. You must check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Focus models of this generation. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns, as the MOT test only assesses performance efficiency rather than the remaining service life of these consumables. Confirm the integrity of the exhaust system and check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine block to ensure that the clean pass record reflects genuine mechanical health rather than superficial preparation.
