2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · SH09 CLN

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by five consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 29 January 2026 at 113,631 miles resulted in no defects, maintaining a trend of clean inspections over the last five years. This consistency suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids major mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger MOT de-motions. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 83,190 miles and January 2026 at 113,631 miles, the car covered 30,441 miles, showing a steady rate of use without long periods of neglect. The gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests shows a slight delay in the testing cycle, but the lack of recorded advisories indicates the vehicle did not sit long enough to degrade rubber components or seals. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common Focus-specific wear points for this generation. Priority should be placed on checking for structural corrosion on the rear subframe and sills, as these often remain hidden until significant decay. Inspect for play in the front suspension bushes and coil springs, as low mileage does not prevent age-related rubber perishation. Additionally, verify the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as the absence of recorded advisories does not guarantee the components are in peak operational condition.
