2009 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · EY59 DGF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 5 August 2022 at 25,632 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met minimum standards at that time. The car has been maintained without the recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2009 Ford Focus, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per annum. Between November 2016 and August 2022, the vehicle covered only 1,721 miles, suggesting a pattern of infrequent use or long-term storage. While this low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it also introduces specific risks associated with a vehicle sitting for extended periods. The four-year gap between the recorded 2022 test and the current date of 2026 means the MOT is now long lapsed and does not reflect the current mechanical condition. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of components affected by age and stagnation rather than mileage-related wear. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, drive shafts, and tyres often perish when a car remains stationary, leading to cracking or perished spots. The braking system requires checking for seized calipers or corroded brake discs, which frequently occur when brakes are not used regularly. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is also essential, as oxidation can progress regardless of how few miles the car has driven.
