2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GF09 APK

The 2009 Ford Focus presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 133,951 miles on 16 October 2025. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. This clean bill of health suggests the previous owner addressed any underlying issues promptly, maintaining the car to a consistent standard over the last few years. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,879 miles annually. Between the October 2022 test at 120,156 miles and the October 2023 test at 124,362 miles, the car covered 4,206 miles. The subsequent year saw a slightly higher accumulation of 4,791 miles, reaching 129,153 miles by November 2024. The final jump to 133,951 miles by October 2025 represents 4,798 miles, confirming a steady, predictable driving pattern with no alarming gaps or sudden surges in usage. Despite the clean MOT record, a notable anomaly exists in the October 2023 entry where the vehicle failed at 124,362 miles yet shows no recorded defects. This discrepancy often points to an aborted test or a dangerous defect rectified immediately before the retest on the same day. A buyer should verify the nature of this failure with the seller. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection must focus on structural integrity, particularly the underbody and suspension mounting points for corrosion. The tester flagged no recurring mechanical faults, but wear items like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components require a hands-on assessment to confirm their remaining service life.
