2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EK09 HXG

The 2009 Ford Focus presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 122,046 miles. The vehicle has consistently passed its annual tests without any recorded defects since 2022, indicating diligent upkeep and a lack of recurring mechanical faults. A failed test also appears on the record for the exact same date and mileage, yet it lists no defects, suggesting an administrative anomaly or an aborted test rather than a genuine mechanical failure. Overall, the recent history demonstrates a well-maintained vehicle with no ongoing issues. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 7,179 miles per year over its seventeen-year lifespan. Examining the recent annual intervals reveals a consistent driving pattern. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the odometer advanced by 7,391 miles, followed by 4,956 miles over the next twelve months, and 5,488 miles in the most recent year. This steady, moderate accumulation implies regular use without prolonged periods of standing or excessively high mileage spikes that would accelerate wear on drivetrain and suspension components. Despite the absence of recorded advisories or failures, a physical inspection remains essential given the vehicle's age and mileage. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components degrade over time regardless of mileage. The brake discs and calipers require scrutiny for corrosion and binding, common issues on vehicles of this era. Structural integrity around the sills and subframes must be checked for corrosion, alongside a thorough assessment of the exhaust system for leaks or deterioration. Tyre condition and age should also be verified, as older rubber can perish even with adequate tread depth.
