2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EU09 UEK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection on June 7 2024 resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car met all safety and environmental standards. While a failure was noted on July 13 2023, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect or degradation. Mileage data is limited for the more recent years, but the available figures show steady usage patterns. Between July 2021 at 99,417 miles and July 2022 at 108,458 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 9,000 miles in a twelve-month period. This aligns with the average UK annual mileage for a family car of this age. However, the lack of mileage readings in the 2023 and 2024 tests makes it impossible to determine the current rate of wear or if the usage has significantly increased recently. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points inherent to this generation of Ford Focus. Given the vehicle's age, a close look at the rear subframe and structural mounting points for corrosion is essential to ensure no hidden rust is. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing, as these often wear before triggering an MOT failure. Since the recent tests show no advisories, the brakes and tyres appear to be in acceptable condition, but a manual check for binding calipers or uneven tyre wear remains prudent to ensure the previous owner maintained basic mechanical upkeep.
