2004 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · BD04 ABF

The roadworthiness status of this 2004 Ford Focus remains inconclusive due to a severely restricted official record, showing a pass and a simultaneous failure on the single recorded date of October 12, 2021. This sparse history provides virtually no data to establish whether mechanical trends are stable, worsening, or improving over time. The recorded mileage sits at 107,571 miles, which averages roughly 4,890 miles per year over its twenty-two-year lifespan. This low annual accumulation places minimal stress on the drivetrain compared to higher mileage counterparts, but the lack of historical test records before or after October 2021 leaves a significant void in the vehicle timeline, raising questions about extended periods of non-use or missing test events. A prospective buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection focusing on age-related deterioration of rubber suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components that typically degrade during low-mileage use or prolonged storage. Particular attention should be paid to structural corrosion underneath the vehicle, especially around the sills and subframes, alongside a thorough check of the exhaust system and fluid leaks, as the single day of MOT data offers no insight into historical advisories or recurring mechanical faults.
