2004 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CV54 HGC

The 2004 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 August 2022 at 111,577 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemish being a failure on 15 August 2022 at 111,571 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded rectification rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or worsening patterns emerge from the three entries supplied. Mileage sits at 111,577 against a 22-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,072 miles per year. The car covered just 1,098 miles between the 22 October 2021 test at 110,479 miles and the August 2022 tests. Such low annual use implies long standing periods, though the record shows no rapid accumulation or suspicious jumps. The sparse clean history offers little detail on wear cycles, but the minimal movement points to a lightly used or intermittently stored vehicle. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as prolonged inactivity promotes corrosion and seized components invisible to a fault-free MOT. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants close checks for rust given the age. The earlier no-defect failure leaves ambiguity; verify the VOSA failure reason and confirm all test certificates match the recorded mileages before purchase.
