2009 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · FJ09 WOU

The Ford Focus currently holds no valid MOT pass, as the most recent test on 16 August 2023 at 113,302 miles resulted in a failure with no defects formally recorded by the tester. This leaves the roadworthiness status unconfirmed and the maintenance trend ambiguous, since the single prior pass on 5 September 2022 at 104,959 miles showed a clean sheet with no advisories. The lack of recorded defects across both entries prevents identification of any worsening or resolving fault pattern. The odometer sat at 104,959 miles in September 2022 and rose to 113,302 miles by August 2023, a gain of 8,343 miles over eleven months that aligns with the vehicle's long-term average of roughly 6,665 miles per year. At approximately 17 years old, the Focus reflects typical use for its age with no evidence of rapid accumulation or prolonged standing. The sparse two-entry history offers little insight into owner care beyond the fact that the car passed cleanly once and then failed without logged faults. A buyer must treat the August 2023 failure as a red flag requiring physical verification. DVSA systems sometimes omit defect text on failed tests, so the absence of recorded items does not confirm the car was fault-free. Given the age and 113,302 miles, structural corrosion on sills and subframes, worn suspension bushes, and tired brake discs or calipers are probable even if unlogged. Before purchase, commission an independent inspection of the exhaust emissions, steering joints, and coil springs. The failed test means the Focus is not legally roadworthy until retested and cleared; do not assume the prior clean pass implies lasting condition.
