2009 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · EN09 DTO

An exceptionally clean record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a complete absence of recorded advisories or defects across the last three annual inspections. This stability is evidenced by the most recent pass on 2025-11-10, following a pattern where any initial test failures were resolved immediately. The lack of chronic issues or recurring advisories suggests a vehicle that has maintained a consistent mechanical standard without the gradual degradation often seen in cars of this vintage. The recorded mileage of 103,770 miles represents a consistent annual average of approximately 6,100 miles over its seventeen-year lifespan. This moderate usage pattern suggests a balanced distribution of wear across the drivetrain and chassis, avoiding the accelerated component fatigue associated with high-mileage vehicles while bypassing the deterioration typically found in cars that have spent prolonged periods stationary. Given the lack of flagged defects in the DVSA history, there are no specific recurring failures or chronic corrosion issues to highlight from the official record. However, for a vehicle of this age and mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the rear axle bushes, which are common wear points for this model. During a test drive, listen for any knocking sounds over uneven surfaces or any vague steering responses that would indicate these components are reaching the end of their service life. Ensure the brake pedal feel is firm and consistent, as the absence of recorded brake defects does not preclude the need for a manual check of the discs for lip wear or the calipers for binding. A thorough visual inspection of the underside for any signs of oil misting or seepage around the engine seals is also recommended to complement the clean MOT history.
