2004 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · RO04 AAZ

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT pass on 27 December 2025. The maintenance trend is exceptionally clean, with no defects or advisories recorded across the last three testing cycles. The absence of any flagged issues suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair or has seen very limited stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a twenty-two year old car, averaging roughly 3,698 miles per year. Between 18 December 2023 and 27 December 2025, the odometer moved from 78,244 to 81,363 miles. This indicates a consistent but light usage pattern of approximately 3,119 miles annually over the last two years. Such low usage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and interior, though it can introduce risks associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls can perish over two decades even if the car is rarely driven. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for any signs of seizing in the calipers, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to binding brakes. Check the underbody and sills for structural corrosion. While the MOT record shows no failures for rust, the age of this Ford Focus makes it susceptible to oxidation in the chassis. Verify that the oil has been changed regularly despite the low annual mileage to ensure the engine internals remain lubricated and free of sludge.
