2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · SV09 WTL

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance. Following a period of multiple defects in 2021, the car has passed three consecutive annual tests with zero defects recorded. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 118,094 miles confirms that previous mechanical and safety concerns have been addressed and the vehicle currently meets the minimum standards for road use. At approximately 17 years old, the Ford Focus has covered an average of 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows steady progression between 2021 and 2026, with roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles covered between tests. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of stagnation, which often benefits the rubber seals and mechanical components, though the overall age means that natural wear on consumable parts is expected. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and exhaust system, as the 2021ion identified a corroded nearside front coil spring and a broken rear exhaust mounting. While these appear to have been rectified given the clean records of the following years, the presence of corrosion in these areas indicates they may be prone to future failure. It is also advisable to check the integrity of the exhaust hangers and the condition of the remaining springs to ensure no new corrosion has developed since the last recorded repairs.
