2005 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AX05 UUW

The vehicle presents as roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 1 May 2025 at 118,775 miles recorded as a Pass and no defects noted. Earlier tests in October 2023, September 2022 and the same dates in 2025 also returned Passes with clean records, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The isolated Fail entries lack any defect details, suggesting they were administrative rather than mechanical. Mileage has risen modestly over the life of the car. From 112,445 miles in September 2022 to 116,822 miles in October 2023 represents an increase of roughly 4,400 miles in 13 months, and a further 1,953 miles to the May 2025 test. Over 21 years the odometer reads 118,775 miles, averaging about 5,600 miles per year – well below typical usage for a vehicle of this age. No abrupt spikes or gaps appear in the record, reinforcing the picture of light, consistent use. A prospective buyer should focus on components that wear with mileage despite the low total. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as wear can be uneven even at modest miles. Examine brake discs and pads for glazing or uneven wear, and verify that calipers move freely without binding. Check suspension bushings, coil springs and shock absorbers for any signs of leakage or corrosion, especially around the lower control arms. A visual survey of the chassis for rust, particularly in wheel arches and underbody, and a brief test of exhaust emissions will confirm that no hidden structural or emission issues have developed since the last MOT.
