2004 Ford Focus C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · EG04 EKX

The 2004 Ford Focus C-MAX presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 8 December 2021 at 213,539 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the available history from 2018 to 2021, the vehicle cleared every annual examination without advisories, indicating the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance. The lone failure on 17 November 2018 at 201,706 miles listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or test-procedure rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the car passed eleven days later at 201,710 miles. Annual mileage averaged roughly 9,700 miles against the vehicle's 22-year life, a typical use profile for a family MPV. The record shows steady accumulation: 201,710 miles in November 2018 rising to 213,539 by December 2021, a gain of about 11,800 miles over three years with no abrupt jumps. The clean pass sheet at each interval implies no significant gap in testing, though the absence of any advisory entries across high-mileage years is unusual and may reflect lenient inspection rather than a fault-free chassis. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and 213,539 miles. The MOT data flags no binding calipers, worn brake discs, or exhaust emissions breaches, yet structural integrity on a 2004 Ford can degrade unseen beneath sills and suspension mounts. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades as consumables, and confirm the November 2018 failure cause with the test station, since the blank defect field offers no technical explanation for the rejection.
