2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · WN59 HVZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing over the last several years. The most recent inspection in November 2023 at 150,124 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. Following a single failure in November 2021, the vehicle has maintained a clean advisory record, suggesting that any previous mechanical issues were successfully rectified. At 150,124 miles over 17 years, this Focus has averaged approximately 8,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady, incremental progression, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the 2021 and 2022 tests, and 2,600 miles recorded between 2022 and 2023. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components seen in neglected cars. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for this generation of Ford Focus, despite the clean MOT history. Given the age, the tester should check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as MOT tests only flag structural rust once it becomes significant. The suspension requires close scrutiny for worn wisharm bushes and coil springs, as these frequently wear out around 150,000 miles. Additionally, verifying the brake lines for corrosion and checking the condition of the brake discs is advisable to ensure the lack of recent advisories reflects the actual state of the braking system.
