2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · NG09 XMT

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness stands in the grey zone, with a clear indication of an improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2025-07-28 at 155,871 miles was passed with no defects, and the vehicle has not failed again since. This suggests a stable maintenance history, though the lack of a subsequent failure date raises questions about whether the car has been adequately serviced over the last 17 years. The mileage pattern is consistent with an older model, averaging approximately 9,169 miles per year, which is typical for a 2009 Ford Focus. However, the data reveals a notable gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests, with the 2024 test occurring just 11 months after the most recent one. This 11-month gap between consecutive MOTs indicates a significant lack of regular maintenance, as the vehicle was not serviced for over a year between two tests. While the mileage itself is not accelerating rapidly, the absence of a failure record for the full duration of the vehicle's life suggests that basic upkeep was skipped or that the car was driven primarily for short periods. In conclusion, the vehicle has not suffered from a serious mechanical failure, but the history suggests that its condition has deteriorated over a long period of inactivity. To ensure safety, the buyer must inspect the car's suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components in person, as the history indicates a lack of regular servicing that could have exposed these parts to wear and tear.
