2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · RH06 ROO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in July 2025 at 146,975 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that any previous issues have been addressed. This follows a brief failure in July 2024 which was rectified immediately within twenty-four hours, suggesting the current owner is proactive regarding MOT safety-related repairs. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the car covered 20,451 miles, representing a steady usage pattern without extreme spikes or long periods of stationary neglect. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows an increase of 8,444 miles, which is typical for annual domestic commuting and helps prevent the premature degradation of rubber components and brake seals. Despite the clean records in the most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Focus of this era. The buyer must check the structural integrity of the rear subframe for corrosion, as this is a known failure point on high-mileage examples. Given the mileage, the suspension bushes and coil spring mounts should be visualised for play or cracking, as these components often degrade before they trigger a formal MOT failure.
