2009 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · YH09 OCL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 94,892 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where failures occurred in 2024 and 2025. The immediate re-tests following those failures suggest that the current owner is proactive in addressing and rectifying faults, bringing the car back to a compliant standard without lingering recorded defects. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 94,892 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,582 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,100 miles driven between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests and another 4,362 miles covered in the final year. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of degradation in rubber-based parts and structural corrosion, regardless of the distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the records do not specify the exact mechanical cause of failure. Given the age of this Ford Focus, a thorough check of structural integrity on the rear arches and sills is essential, as these are common failure points for this generation. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake calipers for signs of seizing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion and perished seals when they are not used frequently.
