2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · YB58 ABU

The roadworthiness status of this Ford Focus is currently sound, supported by an improving maintenance trend that culminates in a clean pass on 16 August 2025 at 135,863 miles with zero defects recorded. The previous annual test on 21 August 2024 at 131,753 miles also passed cleanly, recovering effectively from an isolated failure on 2 March 2024 at 131,492 miles. This clean slate over the last two test cycles indicates that previous owners addressed underlying maintenance rather than allowing minor mechanical grievances to compound into persistent structural issues. Accumulating 135,863 miles across roughly 17 years yields an average of about 7,992 miles annually, which sits comfortably within normal UK driving parameters for a vehicle of this classification. Mileage accrual remained remarkably steady between February 2022 and February 2023, where the odometer rose from 119,808 miles to 125,254 miles. A slight acceleration in use occurred between the March 2024 failure and the August 2024 retest, yet this heavy utilization did not trigger repeat test failures or introduce long gaps in the testing cadence. A physical inspection should prioritize the condition of consumable mechanical assemblies, specifically checking brake discs, pads, and suspension components for premature wear given the vehicle age and mileage milestone. The absence of recurring advisory notices across the five provided test records suggests either diligent preventative maintenance or superficial record-keeping, making a thorough underbody examination for corrosion along the sills and subframes essential before purchase.
