2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FP09 KFC

The 2009 Ford Focus currently holds a failed MOT status from the 14 October 2025 test at 122,198 miles, with no defects formally recorded on the DVSA entry. This leaves the roadworthiness position unresolved and the maintenance trend neither stable nor clearly worsening, though the pattern of paired fail-and-pass cycles across 2023 to 2025 suggests recurring presentation faults or administrative test issues rather than sustained mechanical neglect. The most recent failure sits roughly nine months before today's date and remains uncorrected in the supplied data. Mileage progression reads 112,355 in September 2023, 118,151 by October 2024, and 122,198 at the October 2025 failure, equating to around 5,800 miles per year across that span and below the lifetime average of 7,188. The car covered only 4,047 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. Gaps between tests stayed within standard twelve-month windows, and the record carries no advisories or noted corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's seventeen-year age and the unexplained fails at 112,355, 118,151, and 122,198 miles. The absence of recorded defects on those failure lines points to possible documentation omissions rather than a clean bill of health. Check the suspension for worn coil springs or degraded bushes, test the braking system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, and verify the exhaust for leaks or elevated emissions. The repeated fail-then-pass sequence within days implies the previous owners addressed faults quickly once flagged, but the lack of written detail means on-site verification of consumables and mechanical condition remains essential before purchase.
