2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GL09 KYX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean pass record despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent test on 14 May 2024 at 123,875 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just five days prior at virtually identical mileage. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying any immediate issues to ensure compliance, and the vehicle has since operated without recorded mechanical or structural failures for the last two years cycles. At 17 years of age, the recorded mileage of 123,875 miles represents an average of approximately 7,287 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this era. The data shows consistent movement, with 10,000 miles covered between March 2022 and March 2023, and another 3,750 miles between March 2023 and May 2024. This steady accumulation reduces the likelihood of degradation caused by long periods of standing, though it does mean the natural aging of rubber components and fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as these are common failure points on older Ford Focus models. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories, the age of the car necessitates a close look for corrosion on the rear subframe and brake line mounting points. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and the state of the brake discs is essential to ensure that no hidden wear has developed since the last recorded test.
