I have seen a 2003 (53) Ford Focus 1.6 zetec with 37k miles on the clock. It has 2 previous owners and Full service history and 12 months warranty from a Ford garage.
However I have a couple of concerns about it.
The trouble is the car was first registered in December 2003 and by June 2004 the car had already covered 12k miles and then by about the same time in 2005 the car had then completed about 21k miles. At this point in time the second owner took ownership of the car (an older driver) until the present day (now 37K miles).
To me this suggests that the first owner was perhaps a travelling salesman or something like this and that the second owner had a low annual mileage of about 4000 miles.
My 2nd concern is that on the service history the first service was done at a Vauxhall garage and apart from the one done by the Ford garage I am getting the car from all the other services were done at the SAME non Ford garage. Also I have no invoices from the services to check that the 5w 30 correct oil was used each time.
Would either of the 2 points I have raised be a concern to you if you were the one purchasing this car ?
