2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · X6 JLF

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently non-roadworthy, as the MOT record demonstrates a clear deterioration trend. The most recent test in June 2026 was completed at 87,348 miles, yet the vehicle has failed multiple tests in the preceding years, specifically in January 2025 and January 2024. This pattern indicates that maintenance was fundamentally neglected over the last two years, leading to a significant loss of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is uneven and accelerates during periods of low use or long standing, while the vehicle's age of 17 years means that even low mileage can represent significant wear on consumables like brakes and suspension components. The data shows a consistent gap between the passing test in January 2025 and the failure in January 2024, suggesting that the vehicle has not been serviced for over two years. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for corrosion on steel brake pipes, exhaust mounting defects, and structural integrity of the sub-frame and suspension bushes. The history reveals binding calipers, worn brake pads, and corroded rear sub-frames, all of which are critical indicators of ongoing mechanical risk. While the front exhaust mounting is defective in both tests, this is a minor consumable wear item compared to the serious structural corrosion found on the rear sub-frame and suspension. The buyer should verify the condition of all rear suspension components and steel brake pipes, as these are the most likely to fail in the coming months.
