2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · EY59 TYB

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 12 August 2025 at 19,526 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the primary mechanical and structural components have not reached the threshold of failure or significant degradation typically seen in a vehicle of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 1,150 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2025, the car covered only 1,555 miles, moving from 17,971 to 19,526 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components, though the long periods of inactivity associated with such figures can sometimes mask rubber degradation or fluid breakdown issues not captured by a standard test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than use. While the MOT record shows no faults, it is essential to check for dry rot tyres, perished rubber bushes in the suspension, and seized brake calipers resulting from infrequent use. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often sit in environments where moisture accumulates regardless of the distance driven.
