2004 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · FP04 NKF

The most recent roadworthiness position shows ambiguity rather than a clear pass or fail trend. On 24 February 2022 at 93,931 miles the Ford Focus recorded both a failed and a passed test on the same day with no defects listed against either outcome. This duplicate entry points to an administrative re-test correction rather than a mechanical fault, so the maintenance trend cannot be judged as worsening or improving from the data supplied. The vehicle stands at a stable but unverified status given the absence of any advisories or defects across the only recorded examination. The recorded mileage of 93,931 at the February 2022 test equates to roughly 4,270 miles per year across the car's 22-year life, which is low for a 2004 Focus. No earlier MOT entries exist in the supplied record, so we cannot track accumulation or identify standing periods before that date. The single snapshot at 93,931 miles gives no evidence of rapid use or neglect through high distance, though the four-year gap to today's date of 8 July 2026 means the car has likely covered little or no monitored mileage since. A buyer should physically verify the structural integrity and underside corrosion given the age and the unknown storage conditions implied by the low mileage and stale record. The tester logged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns, yet a 22-year-old vehicle with possible long standing periods often develops seized calipers or perished rubber components unseen in a clean MOT line. Given the same-day fail and pass with zero defects, the prior owner likely addressed a paperwork or presentation issue rather than skipped mechanical upkeep. Inspect the brake binding, tyre sidewall condition, and weld points before purchase, as the sparse history offers no assurance beyond that lone 2022 examination.
