2009 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · FG59 HHT

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on its most recent MOT pass on 8 October 2025 at 45,144 miles. The record shows a consistent pattern of passes over the last four years. A failure on the same day as the most recent pass at 45,129 miles is unusual given that no defects were listed, suggesting a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 2,656 miles per year. Between 28 September 2022 and 13 September 2024, the car covered only 539 miles, indicating it spent significant periods stationary. This low usage pattern often preserves the interior and engine wear but introduces specific risks related to stagnation. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and rubber components. Long periods of inactivity can lead to binding calipers, pitted brake discs, and perished suspension bushes or tyre sidewalls. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, the lack of recorded wear on a seventeen year old vehicle suggests a need to verify that fluids have been changed regularly regardless of the low mileage. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and sills, as low-mileage cars often suffer from rust if stored in damp environments. Ensure the battery and tyres are fresh, as these consumables degrade over time even when the vehicle is not being driven.
