2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GL59 KFG

The 2009 Ford Focus with 154,129 miles shows a stable maintenance trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-07-28 at 154,129 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, the vehicle experienced two consecutive fails on the same date, which is unusual and may indicate administrative errors or repeated testing without identified issues. The prior MOT in 2024-08-01 at 142,964 miles also passed with no defects, while the 2023-08-04 test at 132,012 miles similarly showed no concerns. This suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance but raises questions about the accuracy of the fail entries. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,066 miles annually. From 2023-08-04 (132,012 miles) to 2025-07-28 (154,129 miles), the odometer increased by 22,117 miles over 23 months, reflecting steady usage without significant gaps. The absence of high-mileage warnings or irregularities in the record implies consistent operation, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, common wear points in this model, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which may not trigger MOT failures. Structural corrosion, particularly in the underbody or sills, warrants scrutiny, as well as the exhaust system for leaks or rust. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden mechanical or safety risks.
