2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GF09 PZN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, passing its most recent MOT test on 25 June 2025 at 99,610 miles. This pass followed a failure just one day prior at 99,602 miles, which suggests a minor or administrative defect that was rectified immediately to ensure compliance. The history of clean passes over the last two annual cycles indicates that the vehicle is currently maintained to a functional standard without evidence of escalating mechanical degradation or structural failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,859 miles per year. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the car covered 4,324 miles, while the previous year saw 3,123 miles recorded. This consistent low-usage suggests the car has seen limited exposure, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber seals, perished hoses, and internal brake corrosion that the MOT might not capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and lower suspension components, as the age of the vehicle increases the risk of corrosion regardless of low mileage. While the MOT record is currently clean, check for surface rust on the rear subframe, exhaust mounting, and brake lines. Given the recent failures in 2023 and 2025, verify that the specific items causing those initial failures were properly addressed and are not merely signs of temporary fixes.
