2009 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · WP09 UBO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive passes over the last five annual tests. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 133,664 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. This consistent lack of recorded failures suggests that the previous owners proactively addressed mechanical and safety concerns before they could result in test failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 98,959 miles and October 2025 at 133,664 miles, the car covered 34,705 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of stagnation. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule that would suggest degradation of rubber components or seals, nor are there sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate accelerated wear on the drivetrain or suspension components. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on common failure points for this generation of Ford Focus. A buyer should specifically examine the structural integrity of the rear sills and wheel arches for corrosion, as these areas often develop hidden rust that a visual MOT might miss. The front suspension bushes and coil spring mounts are also prone to perish on high-mileage examples. Since the record shows no previous advisories for brake components, checking for binding calipers or uneven wear on the discs is necessary to ensure the braking system remains as maintained as the digital record suggests.
