AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2009 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 95,403 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from August 2022 to August 2024 also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, no recurring advisories, and no structural or mechanical concerns across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 95,403 miles against an August 2025 test, equating to roughly 5,600 miles per year from new. The annual increments are consistent: 61,534 miles in August 2022, 70,106 in August 2023, 84,688 in August 2024, and 95,403 in August 2025. This low, steady accumulation suggests light use with no dormant gaps or sudden high-mileage bursts. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with no consumable wear or corrosion flags entered at any stage. A duplicate entry on 2 August 2022 shows one failed test and one passed test at identical mileage of 61,534, yet the record lists no defects for either. This anomaly implies an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Buyers should still verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the failure cause was procedural, not omitted from the dataset. Given the absence of advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions, the Focus appears well preserved for its 17 years. A buyer should nonetheless commission a physical inspection for hidden corrosion to sills and subframes, check for perished rubber mounts from prolonged low use, and confirm the timing belt interval against Ford schedule before purchase.
