Identify this car key

wildchild247

I bought a used ford and need to identify this key. It's different to the actual car key but it came with the car. Any help?

It looks like an old Ford key from around the late 90s/early 2000s. The lock has a kind of hexagonal barrel, it's very distinctive looking.

If you can't find somewhere on the car that the key actually works, then I wonder did the previous owner just have it on the keyring and never bothered taking it off?

Or did they get the door locks changed, but another lock like the petrol cap or the glovebox still has the old one?

Had a 94 Mondeo with that design of key.

It is a 2009 ford focus. Check the glove box, fuel cap, child lock on the doors, engine.
Nothing makes sense where the key would go?
Is it useless? Should I throw it in the rubbish?

Could be the last owner of your car, kept a spare for their partners car on their keyring.

Looks like one we had on our old Fiesta. Is it definitely not just a spare ignition key?

Looks like a generic ford key from the 90's. OP if you've tried it in the doors, boot, ignition, glove box, fuel cap, bonnet, and it doesn't work then its likely off an old car (99% sure as that isn't the key for a 2009 focus).

Yeah this sounds very likely

I'm not sure but could it be from Ford Scorpio?

That's the old Ford Tibbie key, was stooped been used on the Ford Focus in 2005 and the phased out over the following years on the Fiesta Mondeo and was still been used on the Transit until 2012. unless they changed the lock on the door its not off that car.
hope it helps

That key looks like a Ford courtesy key (opens doors/bonnet only), and looks unused.
