2004 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · KK04 YMX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the record indicates a period of inconsistent preparation prior to testing. The most recent test in December 2022 at 147,078 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a series of two failures within that same month. Given that over three years have passed since the last recorded MOT, the vehicle is significantly overdue for its annual inspection, and the current mechanical state of the car cannot be verified without a fresh technical assessment. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,685 miles per year. Between the December 2021 and December 2022 tests, the car covered only 2,042 miles, suggesting a period of low usage during that interval. While the low total mileage of 147,078 miles suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of rubber component degradation, fluid leaks, and structural corrosion, regardless of the distance driven. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension, as 2004 Focus models are prone to rust in the sills and wheel arches. The history of multiple failures in late 2021 and 2022 indicates that the owner previously struggled to meet minimum standards before finally passing. Specific attention should be paid to worn suspension bushes, corroded coil springs, and the condition of the exhaust system, as these are common points of failure on vehicles of this age that have sat for extended periods.
