2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FJ09 YNK

The 2009 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 2 April 2026 at 109,681 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle avoided any advisories or faults across its last three successful annual tests, indicating consistent mechanical condition for a 17-year-old car. Recorded mileage sits at 109,681 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 6,452 miles per year which is typical use for this model. The history shows tight clustering: the April 2024 and April 2025 tests each logged a fail immediately followed by a pass on the same day at near-identical mileages (103,407 and 106,890/106,891), with no defects listed on any of those entries. Such same-day fail-pass pairs with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical defects, and the clean 2026 result supports that the car was not carrying hidden wear. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the sills and subframes, as the MOT record omits advisories that an older Focus commonly accrues. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks despite the absence of flagged binding calipers or worn components in the data. Given the sparse but clean record, verify the two anomalous 2024 and 2025 fail-pass cycles with the test centre to rule out data entry errors before purchase. The low annual mileage implies lighter use, yet prolonged standing can age rubber seals and tyres, so examine those consumables closely even though no tester raised them.
