2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · OV59 OVY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on 14 January 2026 at 99,772 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has successfully passed without defects or advisories across the last three successful inspections. The recorded failures on 12 January 2026 and 14 January 2025 occurred immediately prior to passes, suggesting minor administrative issues or simple consumable failures that were rectified just before the re-test rather than indicating systemic mechanical decline. At seventeen years of age, the recorded mileage of 99,772 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,869 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with only 1,302 miles driven between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, and another 1,222 miles in the final year. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown due to lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage alone. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly around sills and wheel arches, is essential. The buyer should also inspect suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake calipers for seizing, as long periods of standing can cause these components to fail despite a clean MOT history.
