2009 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · FP09 RLU

The 2009 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 May 2025 at 157,344 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 29 March 2024 at 151,403 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories or faults. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a seventeen-year-old car. Records show 144,836 miles in March 2023, 151,403 miles in March 2024, and 157,344 miles in May 2025, equating to roughly 6,500 to 6,900 miles per year across those intervals and beneath the long-term average of 9,256. The only anomaly is the failed test on 21 March 2024 at 151,394 miles, retested and passed eight days later at 151,403 miles with no defects logged on either attempt, suggesting a clerical or non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive fault. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across five years, the MOT history offers no evidence of recurring suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust emission issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as the DVSA test does not capture latent rust or component fatigue between annual checks. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing in order, though the sparse fault data means consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and caliper operation warrant hands-on verification before purchase.
