2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MT59 HHP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest available MOT data. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 121,709 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previously identified issues were addressed. This transition from minor advisories to a clean sheet suggests the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet minimum legal safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, spanning seventeen years, averaging approximately 7,159 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 91,551 miles and September 2025 at 121,709 miles, the car covered 30,158 miles, showing steady usage without long periods of stagnation. This regular interval is generally beneficial for older Ford models as it helps prevent seal degradation and brake component seizing often associated with stationary vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres, as the recurring advisories in 2023 and 2024 highlighted perishing and cracking on both the nearside and offside rear tyres. While these were cleared ahead of the 2025 test, the history suggests the rubber compound may be reaching the end of its structural life regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the windscreen damage noted in 2022 should be checked to ensure no new cracks have developed into the driver's primary field of vision. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough chassis inspection for corrosion is also necessary, as the MOT record does not flag structural integrity issues in recent years.
