2005 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · KB05 RNU

The 2005 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 August 2025 at 57,695 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since the 2022 re-test. The recorded mileage of 57,695 against 21 years of age equates to roughly 2,747 miles per year, confirming very light use. Annual increments stayed modest throughout the visible record: the car covered 4,316 miles between July 2022 and July 2023, then 1,733 miles to July 2024, and 1,025 miles to August 2025. A single failed test on 21 July 2022 at 50,620 miles was followed one day later by a pass at 50,621 miles with no defects listed, indicating a clerical or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean history shows no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry. Low mileage and a long standing period can disguise perished rubber components and surface corrosion not caught in a pass. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension arms and bushes for cracking, check brake discs and calipers for rust binding after disuse, and examine sills and subframes for structural rust. The absence of recorded advisories means the tester saw no immediate concern, but a 21-year-old vehicle warrants a hands-on check of consumables and underbody integrity before purchase.
