2009 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · DA58 ETR

The 2009 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 129,519 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the available five-year history. Annual mileage sits close to the typical expectation for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,600 miles per year. The records show steady accumulation: 111,246 miles in January 2022, rising to 121,549 by January 2023, 126,620 in January 2024, 128,471 in January 2025, and 129,519 in January 2026. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows the largest yearly increase at just over 5,000 miles, while the most recent year added only 1,048 miles. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry listing no advisories or defects. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 129,000-mile accumulation. The clean MOT record offers no evidence of corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but testers often miss early-stage underbody rust on older hatchbacks. Verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades despite their absence from the advisory list. The previous owner clearly kept the car to a passable standard, yet the lack of recorded advisories across five tests suggests minimal mechanical intervention rather than proactive component renewal.
