2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · PY09 DVO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent testing data. The MOT conducted on July 2, 2025, at 133,924 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet the minimum legal standards. This clean result follows a brief failure in May 2024, which the previous owner appears to have addressed immediately to secure a subsequent pass. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 107,194 miles and July 2025 at 133,924 miles, the car covered 26,730 miles, suggesting a steady usage profile. The short interval between the May 2024 failure and the July 2024 pass, with only 8 miles recorded between tests, indicates the failure was likely due to a minor consumable item or a lighting adjustment rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. Despite the clean history in the recent records, a buyer should focus in-person inspections on common wear points for this generation of Ford Focus. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the rear subframe and mounting points is essential as these areas often degrade before they trigger an MOT failure. You should also inspect the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these components typically perish over time regardless of the mileage driven. Checking the brake discs for thinning or excessive pitting will also confirm if the lack of advisories in the record reflects a well-maintained braking system.
