2004 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YY04 FSS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a history of clean passes over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in June 2022 at 97,034 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car met all safety and emissions standards at that time. This follows a consistent trend from 2019 through 2020, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevented mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2019 and August 2020, where the car covered only 2,034 miles in seventeen months, followed by a more active period of 21,630 miles between 2020 and 2022. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals during long periods of inactivity. The single failure recorded on 2 August 2021 at 86,116 miles occurred just one day before a passing test, suggesting a minor component failure was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical issue. Because the last recorded was four years ago in 2022, a buyer must account for the potential for age-related decay that mileage cannot capture. Inspection should focus specifically on structural corrosion on the chassis and rear subframe, as well as the condition of suspension bushes and brake lines which often perish with time regardless of low distance driven.
