2009 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · HJ09 WCE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 June 2025 at 71,984 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures preceding passes in both 2024 and 2025, these appear to be isolated issues rectified prior to the retest rather than a systemic mechanical decline. The lack of advisories on the latest certificate suggests the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 71,984 miles represents exceptionally low annual usage of approximately 4,234 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 9,175 miles covered between May 2023 and May 2024, and another 4,769 miles between May 2024 and June 2025. This low mileage generally benefits the drivetrain and engine components, though low-age vehicles often suffer from accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to extended periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Ford Focus models are prone to corrosion that may not always trigger an MOT failure until it becomes. Given the low mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or perished rubber which often occurs despite lack of physical wear. Additionally check the brake system for seized calipers or pitted discs, as infrequently-used vehicles frequently develop surface rust and internal corrosion within the braking assembly.
