2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EO09 MFK

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 24 July 2025 at 88,656 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a flawless trend over the previous four years, suggesting that the mechanical and safety components have remained within acceptable operating parameters without triggering failures during annual DVSA inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,215 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage between the January 2024 test at 68,867 miles and the July 2025 test at 88,656 miles, representing nearly 20,000 miles in seventeen months. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, the periods of lower use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or surface corrosion on brake components due to inactivity. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than high mileage. A buyer must check the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly along the sills and wheel arches, which are common failure points for this generation of Focus. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and verify that the brake calipers are not seized, as the MOT test does not always capture early onset wear of these items until they reach a failure threshold.
