2009 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · YP09 PJU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent data available. The final MOT test conducted on 30 December 2021 at 176,472 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car was in a compliant condition at that time. However, because over four and a half years have passed since this inspection, the current roadworthiness status of the vehicle is unverified. The significant gap in testing suggests the vehicle has not undergone a formal safety check for several years. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. The record shows a period of 14,648 miles covered between July 2019 and January 2021, followed by another 9,590 miles before the final 2021 test. This interval suggests regular, active use rather than long periods of stationary time. The high cumulative mileage of over 176,000 miles places significant expected wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly, which is typical for a Focus of this age and usage. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, as the age and mileage often lead to thinning of metal components. The history shows failures in 2019 and early 2021 were rectified quickly to achieve passes, suggesting previous owners were reactive to MOT failures. Given the time elapsed since the last record, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines should be scrutinized for perished rubber or leaks. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs and tyre condition to ensure that safety-critical maintenance has not been deferred during the long period without official testing.
