2009 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · LS09 TXV

The 2009 Ford Focus has a recent MOT result from 2022-12-12, which showed a pass at 101,689 miles. However, this was preceded by a fail just six days earlier on 2022-12-06, also at the same mileage. This suggests a possible inconsistency in testing or a last-minute fix before the pass. No defects were recorded in either test, which is unusual for a failure. The MOT history reveals a pattern of alternating passes and fails at similar mileages, such as the 2021-12-01 pass and fail (both at 89,728 miles) and the 2020-12-04 pass at 81,074 miles. This instability could indicate recurring issues with minor components, such as lighting, emissions, or bodywork, which were not classified as defects. However, the absence of recorded defects makes it difficult to confirm specific risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 101,689 miles for a 17-year-old car is low , averaging 5,982 miles annually. This could reflect light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may lead to issues like seized components, battery degradation, or fluid stagnation. While lower mileage often suggests less wear, it also increases the risk of mechanical stiffness or corrosion if the car was not regularly driven.
