2005 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CE05 AAZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 at 114,436 miles. This test was clean, with no defects or advisories recorded. The history shows a pattern of quick resolutions, as the car passed within eight days of a failure on 24 September 2025. The mileage is notably low for a 21 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,449 miles per year. The accumulation has remained consistent over the last three years, growing from 105,839 miles in September 2023 to 114,436 miles in October 2025. This suggests the car has not suffered from prolonged periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The MOT record is unusually clean for a Ford Focus of this vintage, showing no mentions of corrosion, suspension wear, or brake deterioration across multiple tests. While the lack of advisories is positive, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and sills for structural rust, as these areas are common failure points for this model that may not always be captured in a brief test. Check the condition of the tyres and brake discs for surface corrosion or flat spots. Because the record shows no mechanical faults since September 2023, the focus should shift to the general health of the engine oil and coolant. Verify that the low mileage has not resulted in neglected fluid changes, as the DVSA record only tracks roadworthiness rather than preventative servicing.
