2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FE59 RZW

The 2009 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 May 2025 at 132,820 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 20 May 2024 at 127,439 miles shows the vehicle has cleared its annual examinations without outstanding advisories for over a year. Recorded mileage sits at 132,820 against an estimated 17-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,800 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model age. The records show steady accumulation: 122,095 miles in May 2023, 127,325 by May 2024, and 132,820 by May 2025. Two failed tests in 2023 and 2024 were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and the immediate re-tests days later passed cleanly. The absence of any advisories across the full history means the official record gives no signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the vehicle's age and the fact that MOT checks do not strip components. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the twin fail-with-no-defect entries suggest loose test booking discipline rather than neglect of consumables. Treat the clean record as a positive but verify in person before purchase.
