2005 Ford Focus 1.4L Petrol · FP05 RGV

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy on its most recent test, passing with no defects recorded at 126,618 miles on 19 January 2024. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing every pass test since 2022 and showing no advisories or mechanical faults across the supplied record. Recorded mileage sits at 126,618 against a 2005 build, averaging roughly 6,029 miles per year which is typical for the age. The odometer moved from 107,365 on 21 January 2022 to 117,639 on 30 January 2023, then to 126,618 by 19 January 2024, giving a steady ~9,000 to 9,000 annual climb with no sudden accumulation or long dormant gaps. The clean pass history and ordinary mileage suggest consistent if unremarkable use by prior keepers. Two failed tests on 17 January 2024 at 126,580 miles and 16 January 2023 at 117,606 miles both logged no defects, implying administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection. The owner corrected these within days to secure passes, pointing to basic compliance rather than neglected repair. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity given the car is over two decades old. The MOT data shows no corrosion or worn consumables flagged, but the absence of advisories on a high-mileage older Ford does not confirm component condition. Verify test validity and inspect for hidden rust on sills and subframes before purchase.
