2004 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AY04 YBH

The 2025-09-10 MOT at 88,174 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. No failures or advisories have appeared in the preceding three tests, showing consistent compliance. The vehicle has accumulated roughly 4,000 miles per year since its 2004 manufacture, a rate that suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage increments between tests are modest, rising from 86,478 miles in September 2023 to 87,365 miles in September 2024, then to 87,377 miles in September 2024 and finally to 88,174 miles in September 2025, demonstrating a steady, incremental increase without abrupt spikes. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and check the chassis for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee the absence of hidden corrosion or worn components, so a physical inspection of the exhaust system, structural integrity, and tyre tread depth is essential. Overall, the MOT history presents a vehicle that has remained roadworthy with no evident mechanical failures, but prospective purchasers must verify the condition of critical components through a detailed on‑site assessment.
