2009 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · FJ09 VFO

The 2009 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 17 February 2023 at 86,661 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior clean pass on 7 March 2022 at 81,518 miles. The maintenance history shows no advisories or failures across both recorded examinations, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening mechanical condition in the official record. Recorded mileage sits at 86,661 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 5,098 miles per year. The gap between the two tests shows only 5,143 miles added over eleven months, confirming very light annual use. Such low accumulation relative to age suggests extended standing periods are plausible, though the sparse two-entry record limits deeper trend analysis. No rapid accumulation or neglected-interval gaps appear in the supplied data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT lineage. Low mileage and long idle spells accelerate perishable degradation not always visible at test: tyres may suffer sidewall cracking, brake discs can corrode, and suspension bushes may harden. The tester logged no structural corrosion or brake binding, yet standing vehicles often hide underbody rust and seized calipers absent from a pass result. Verify the actual odometer against the 2023 figure and confirm no unrecorded layup damage exists. Given the 2023 test is over three years old relative to today, a fresh MOT and workshop check on coil springs, exhaust emissions, and chassis integrity remain prudent before purchase.
