2009 Ford Focus 1.4L Petrol · YF09 AWX

The 2009 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 16 September 2025 at 112,085 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The most recent test showed no defects, and the prior year's records likewise carry no advisories or failures on mechanical grounds. This indicates the vehicle has not displayed worsening structural or drivetrain faults within the documented period. Recorded mileage stands at 112,085 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 6,593 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a car of this type. The gap between the 3 October 2023 test at 109,047 miles and the 26 September 2024 test at 110,198 miles shows only 1,151 miles covered in nearly twelve months, suggesting a period of light running or infrequent use. From September 2024 to September 2025 the car added a modest 1,887 miles, confirming a consistently low annual accumulation. The DVSA entries show two failed tests on 15 September 2025 and 26 September 2024, yet both list no recorded defects and were immediately followed by passes on the next day or same day at near-identical mileages. Such paired fail-and-pass entries with zero faults typically point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical non-compliance. The owner cleared both without remedial work, implying no outstanding consumable or structural concerns were raised. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the sparse advisory history. The absence of recorded advisories across five tests means wear on tyres, exhaust emissions, and steering joints has not been formally tracked, so physical verification of these items remains prudent before purchase.
