2004 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · BV04 ARX

The 2004 Ford Focus shows a passed MOT from 7 December 2021 at 116,973 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at that time. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, though the record is sparse and now nearly five years old relative to today's date of 16 July 2026. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisory patterns emerge from the supplied tests. The odometer stood at 100,998 miles on 11 December 2019, then 108,723 miles on 16 December 2020, and 116,973 miles on 7 December 2021. That equates to roughly 7,700 miles per year across those two years, above the lifetime average of about 5,300 miles per year for a 22-year-old vehicle. The low overall mileage suggests lighter use or periods of standing, but the clean pass history with no recorded advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion offers little detail for deeper assessment. Two failed tests on 16 December 2020 and 7 December 2021 at 108,723 and 116,973 miles respectively show no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. The subsequent same-day passes confirm the vehicle cleared compliance each time. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions given the age and the stale test data. Prior to purchase, verify the vehicle has not accumulated significant unrecorded mileage since December 2021 and check for corrosion on sills and suspension mounts. The previous owner kept the Focus to a clean MOT standard, yet the absence of advisories across its later life may simply reflect test tolerance rather than confirmed component condition.
