2009 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · CY09 EXH

The 2009 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 33,256 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical averages for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 22,635 miles in July 2021, rising to 27,936 by July 2022, then 31,010 in June 2023, 32,110 in July 2024, and 33,256 in August 2025. That equates to roughly 1,100 to 5,000 miles per year, with the largest jump between 2021 and 2022. The DVSA data spans only the last five tests and reveals no failures, advisories, or recorded faults, so the history is sparse but consistently clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless MOT trail. Low annual use combined with the car's age raises the risk of perished rubber components, degraded suspension bushes, and standing-water corrosion on sills or subframes that a visual test may not capture. Brake discs and calipers may show surface pitting from long idle periods. Check the exhaust system for internal rot and confirm tyre sidewalls have not cracked from age rather than wear. The absence of advisories suggests prior owners kept basic upkeep current, but verify cambelt condition given the 2009 build date and confirm fluid changes have been maintained outside the MOT scope.
