It looks like water inside is a common problem with a variety of causes https://search.brave.com/search?q=ford+focus+mk1+water+in+cill+sill A few suggestions copied from the web :
at the very back of the gutter trim (hidden) at the topcorner the tailgate opening. Water of course was coming in right at the back of the car after running down bodywork and trim.
blocked pollen filter ?
5 door only: blocked drain holes in the rear doors (guess this would cause wet floors not water in sills).
Finally traced the leak (using a hose) to be the passenger side rear quarter light window! It's bonded in from the outside with no visible sign of the sealant (no rubber surrounds) so not really sure how to go about trying to re-seal it other than smash it as I doubt it will come off easily and replace with new! It's not actually showing the leak around the window inside. It's tracking slightly somewhere and coming through a opening in the double skin about an inch away. Black sealant is probably the only option, just very tight to get behind the edge of the glass without making a right mess on the bodywork! Be fun trying thou!!!
Good luck and keep us updated

No. As I found the leak.
4 years ago I sold it.
