2009 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · NL09 NDN

The 2009 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 9 March 2023 at 157,709 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle passed again on 7 March 2022 at 157,363 miles with no advisories. The history shows no escalating faults and no outstanding mechanical concerns across the supplied record. The mileage pattern aligns with typical use for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,277 miles per year against the final recorded 157,709 miles. Between 9 March 2021 (156,832 miles) and 7 March 2022 (157,363 miles) the car covered only 531 miles, indicating a period of very low annual use. From March 2022 to March 2023 the odometer moved just 346 miles, confirming the car was barely driven in its later recorded life. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected high-mileage wear. Two failed tests on 9 March 2021 and 7 March 2022 show no defects recorded, meaning the failures stemmed from administrative or unlogged non-mechanical causes rather than flagged wear. The owner cleared both with immediate passes on the same days, suggesting the faults were minor or procedural. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion appear at any point, which implies basic structural integrity held up. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for age-related corrosion to subframes and sills, check suspension bushes for perishing after long standing, and verify brake calipers are not binding from disuse. Confirm the timing belt history and fluid condition given the low recent mileage. The MOT data alone shows a clean, stable record but cannot substitute for a physical inspection of consumables and hidden rot.
