2004 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GY04 DFL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent test on January 13, 2025 at 124,969 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a re-test failure just five days prior at 124,820 miles. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying issues to ensure compliance, and the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet of defects for the last two successful testing cycles. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 124,969 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,680 miles. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 10,500 miles covered between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 12,500 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes and engine seals which can perish due to time rather than frequent use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the rear sills and wheel arches where these Focus models are prone to corrosion. Because the MOT history shows no recorded advisories in the recent years, it is vital to check for emerging surface rust that has not yet reached a failure threshold. Given the low mileage, also inspect the brake fluid moisture and the condition of the brake discs, as vehicles that sit for long periods can suffer from internal corrosion or pitting on the braking surfaces.
