2004 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YN04 FRL

The 2004 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2026-02-24 at 118,157 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2022 through 2026. Recorded mileage sits at 118,157 against 22 years of age, equating to roughly 5,371 miles per year. The DVSA data shows minimal annual accumulation: the car covered only 626 miles between the February 2022 test at 114,996 miles and the February 2023 test at 116,015 miles, then 939 miles to March 2024 at 116,954, 577 to February 2025 at 117,531, and 626 to February 2026. Such low, consistent use implies the vehicle spent long periods stationary rather than enduring daily commuter wear. No gaps or sudden mileage spikes appear in the history. The clean advisory record across all five tests means no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring fractures, binding calipers, or corrosion issues were flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the car's age and likely extended standing periods, which MOT checks may not fully expose on a dry indoor test. Prior owners clearly kept basic upkeep current, as evidenced by five consecutive passes with zero defects. Verify service history and check for perished rubber components or flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage before purchase.
