2004 Ford Focus C-MAX 1.8L Petrol · MF04 SSZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clean record across its most recent inspections. Following a failure in March 2024, the car has passed two consecutive annual tests with no defects recorded. The most recent test on March 3, 2026, confirms that any mechanical or safety issues identified in the prior year were successfully addressed, and the vehicle currently maintains a high standard of operational compliance with DVSA requirements. At 139,254 miles, this 22-year-old Focus C-Max has averaged approximately 6,330 miles per year. This figure is consistent with low-intensity usage, which suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive drivetrain stress or heavy commuting. The mileage data indicates a well-maintained interval, though the low annual mileage can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber-based components and seals that occur over time rather than through mileage-based wear. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must focus on the physical structural integrity of the chassis given its age. An inspection should specifically target for corrosion on the sills, rear subframe, and mounting points, as these are common areas of failure for this model regardless of mileage. The low mileage also necessitates a close check of the suspension bushes and dampers, which can perish or crack due to age and standing time even if the car is rarely driven.
