2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FD58 ABF

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 11 March 2026 at 73,014 miles with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test on 10 March 2026, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately, as it passed the following day with the same mileage. The mileage pattern is highly irregular for a 17 year old vehicle. It averaged roughly 4,295 miles per year overall, but the data shows a sudden and significant increase in usage recently. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 1,471 miles. Between March 2024 and March 2025, it covered 6,264 miles. In the final year leading up to the March 2026 test, the mileage jumped by 18,964 miles. This indicates a shift from light use to much heavier daily commuting. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no advisories or failures for structural corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear over the last four years. Such a pristine record on a 2009 model is rare and may suggest the vehicle was stored for long periods or has had significant preventative work that went unrecorded. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perishing rubber seals, cracked tyres, and the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion. Given the sudden increase in annual mileage, verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed to accommodate the recent higher workload. Inspect the underside for chassis rust, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed history of structural integrity for this specific age of Ford Focus.
