2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FH09 HFF

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy at its most recent examination. The tester passed the vehicle on 4 October 2025 at 115,628 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults carried between tests. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a 2009 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,800 miles per year. The gap between the September 2023 test at 92,939 miles and the July 2024 test at 105,141 miles shows about 12,200 miles added in ten months, then a further 10,487 miles to the October 2025 pass. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any pass and no stated defects on the two failed attempts dated 6 September 2023 and 11 July 2024, both of which were immediately re-tested and passed the same day. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the car is seventeen years old and past 115,000 miles. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural integrity concerns is reassuring, but MOT passes with no defects do not confirm the condition of consumable items below advisory thresholds. The same-day fail-and-pass pairs in 2023 and 2024 suggest administrative or minor pre-test corrections rather than neglected upkeep, though the lack of defect detail prevents firm judgement on previous owner care. Given the clean record, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions, and underbody rust that a road test would expose.
