2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FP59 XJB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent inspection history. The most recent test on 21 February 2025 at 134,126 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day which listed no faults. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor technicality that was immediately rectified, as the vehicle has since maintained a clean record across the last four annual tests. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. The data shows steady usage with a climb from 116,617 miles in December 2021 to 134,126 miles in February 2025. The gap of roughly 6,400 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates the car is used regularly rather than left to sit for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake-related seizing issues. While the MOT history is clean of recurring mechanical or structural failures, a physical inspection must focus on common wear points for a Focus of this age. The buyer should check the rear suspension trailing arms and front control arms for corrosion, as these often perish before they trigger an MOT failure. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the brake discs and the integrity of the fluid lines is essential to ensure the previous owner has not neglected routine maintenance between the annual test requirements.
