2009 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YP59 CXW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. The most recent test on 27 March 2023 at 107,886 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. However, as three years have passed since the last recorded DVSA check, the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual test and requires an immediate inspection to determine the current state of its safety-critical components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between March 2021 at 78,695 miles and March 2022 at 95,772 miles, the car covered over 17,000 miles in a single year, representing a period of heavy use compared to its overall average. Since the 2023 test, the mileage has remained static, which suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. This stagnation can lead to issues with rubber components, seized seals, and fluid degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension system. Given the age of the Focus and the potential for recent inactivity, checking for corrosion on the sills, rear subframe, and exhaust system is essential. The MOT record shows failures in 2022 and 2023 without specific defect details listed in this summary, which often indicates minor items like bulbs, wipers, or tyre adjustments. Inspect the brake discs for heavy pitting and the suspension bushes for perished rubber to ensure the low annual mileage has not masked underlying age-related wear.
