2004 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GU04 HDL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent failures during testing. The most recent inspection on 18 December 2025 at 137,601 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that any issues causing the failure earlier that day have been addressed and rectified. The history of clean passes over the last three years suggests the vehicle is currently meeting minimum safety and emissions standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's twenty-two-year age, averaging approximately 6,255 miles per annum. Between December 2023 at 113,634 miles and December 2024 at 127,298 miles, the car covered 13,364 miles, representing a period of higher than average usage. However, the subsequent year saw 10,303 miles covered, leading up to the December 2025 test. This low annual mileage over long periods often leaves age-related rubber components and seals prone to degradation rather than mechanical friction-based wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the 차량, as older Ford Focus models from this era are susceptible to corrosion in the sills and rear suspension mounting points. While the MOT history shows no current advisories, the recurring failures in 2023 and 2025 suggest that specific components—likely lighting, bulbs, or emissions-related sensors—require proactive attention just before testing dates. Check the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake lines for perished rubber, as low mileage can mask the aging of parts that have not been regularly stressed.
