FORD FOCUS2002 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite its age. The most recent MOT test conducted on November 28, 2023, at 112,757 miles resulted a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just one day prior at the same mileage, suggesting the owner rectified a minor presentation issue immediately to ensure compliance. The overall history indicates a consistent pattern of maintaining mechanical standards over the last three testing cycles. The usage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent intervals between tests, with 16,738 miles covered between November 2021 and November 2022, and another 15,488 miles between November 2022 and November 2023. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can increase the risk of rubber component degradation and brake corrosion due to longer periods of static storage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and rear suspension mounting, as older Ford Focus models are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. While the MOT record is clean of specific mechanical failures, the recurring single-day failures in 2021 and 2023 suggest that minor items like bulbs or wipers may only be addressed when testing fails. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracks and check the brake discs for pitting to ensure low usage has not led to seized calipers or uneven wear.
