2009 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · KV59 EYR

The 2009 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent pass on 14 November 2025 at 89,883 miles with no defects recorded. The prior day's failure on 13 November 2025 at the same mileage is anomalous, as the DVSA record lists no defects; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the vehicle cleared and passed within twenty-four hours. Recorded mileage stands at 89,883 against an approximate 17-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,287 miles per year, which is low for the model age. Annual increments confirm gentle use: 72,332 miles at the 2 November 2022 test, 79,852 by 3 November 2023, 83,806 on 13 November 2024, and 89,883 at both 2025 tests. The clean sequence of passes with zero advisories across all five entries indicates the previous keeper maintained statutory test compliance, though the absence of flagged wear offers no insight into underlying component condition. A buyer should commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the limitation that no MOT advisories were ever raised to flag gradual degradation. Low annual mileage paired with the 2025 same-day fail-pass pattern implies the car may have stood idle for periods; prolonged storage promotes corrosion on structural members and seizes calipers, neither of which a defect-free certificate excludes. Prospective owners must verify underside structural integrity and check for binding brakes or perished rubber components before purchase, as the sparse record provides no assurance beyond basic test compliance at the stated dates.
