2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · HG59 RHX

The 2009 Ford Focus is currently roadworthy, having passed the February 2025 MOT at 95,688 miles with no defects recorded. All four MOTs since February 2022 have resulted in passes, indicating a consistent maintenance record and no recurring failures. The vehicle’s mileage averages about 5,600 miles per year, well below the typical 10,000‑mile annual average for a 17‑year‑old car, suggesting light use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage rose from 78,236 miles in February 2022 to 85,691 miles in February 2023 (7,455 miles), then to 90,830 miles in January 2024 (5,139 miles) and finally to 95,688 miles in February 2025 (4,858 miles), showing steady but not rapid accumulation, with a notable gap of roughly 11 months between the February 2023 and January 2024 tests. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the binding condition of the rear brakes and inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and check the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for rust. The exhaust system should also be assessed for leaks or excessive corrosion, and tyre tread depth and condition verified. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, the low annual mileage does not guarantee absence of wear on consumables, so a physical inspection of tyre condition, brake pad thickness, and any hidden corrosion is essential before purchase.
