Auto trader states the following -

'' The data displayed above details the usual specification of the most recent model of this vehicle. It is not the exact data for the actual vehicle being offered for sale and data for older models may vary slightly. We recommend that you always check the details with the seller prior to purchase. *Fitted as standard.''

I beleive this model was the one just before the facelift in 2008 - i'm not sure what of the above spec would not be on the pre face lift model

your wording at the end seems confusing .You seem to be asking "this is a pre facelift car , what is not on the pre facelift car?

i think that statement is just a get out clause from Autotrader in case the spec is slightly different, they put that at the bottom of all the ads.

If you search 'Autotrader' for cars nationally that have that, or very similar spec you will find that they start from £3,750, some with lower mileage so I would say that there is a bit of a main dealer premium in the price.
If that gives you peace of mind then well and good but I feel you could get the same car for £500 less by shopping around - or negotiate money off.

I have an older Focus and it is a great drive but they are prone to leak around the front windscreen/scuttle area so make sure there is no damp in the footwells or a musty smell.
