2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EF09 OSL

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 May 2025 at 142,232 miles returned no defects or advisories. This consistent performance suggests a proactive maintenance regime where the previous owners likely addressed mechanical issues before they escalated into test failures, maintaining a clean record throughout the current period. At 142,232 miles, the Ford Focus has averaged approximately 8,367 miles per year since its registration, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows steady use with regular intervals of roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles between annual tests. For example, the jump from 110,841 miles in May 2021 to 120,045 miles in May 2022 indicates consistent operation rather than long periods of stationary storage which can lead to component neglect. Despite the clean MOT history, the seventeen-year age of the vehicle necessitates a physical inspection of common failure points inherent to this model. A buyer should specifically examine the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear suspension mounting and sills, as rust often develops undetected until it becomes significant. Given the mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or fatigue, as these rubber components degrade do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach total collapse.
