Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2009 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 August 2024 at 175,935 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The record shows two paired fail-pass entries on the same dates in 2023 and 2024, both at identical mileages with no defects listed, indicating administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical failures. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,349 miles per year. The odometer moved from 155,688 miles at the 26 August 2022 test to 165,498 miles by 10 August 2023, then to 175,935 miles by 19 August 2024. This equates to about 9,800 to 10,400 miles annually, a consistent and unremarkable pattern with no sudden jumps or prolonged dormancy visible in the data. The DVSA record is sparse and clean across all three years, listing no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. Such an absence of flagged wear at 175,935 miles is unusual for a Focus of this age and may reflect light-touch testing or genuine diligent upkeep. A buyer should not assume components are sound solely from the blank advisories. In person, the buyer should still inspect brake disc thickness and caliper operation, check suspension arms and subframe mounts for perished bushes or rust, and verify the exhaust system for internal degradation not caught on the roller. Confirm the 2023 and 2024 same-day fail-pass pairs were clerical and not掩盖 of a dismissed defect. Given the mileage, expect consumable items such as wipers and tyres to need replacement sooner rather than later.
