2002 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LK02 AAJ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 October 2025 at 35,701 miles returned no defects or advisories. This consistent history of passes suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard and does not currently present immediate mechanical or structural failures that would prevent a successful test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 1,488 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered only 3,358 miles, moving from 32,343 to 35,701 miles. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between drives often signal issues with degradation rather than mechanical friction. The consistent annual testing indicates a proactive owner despite the infrequent road use. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components susceptible to age-related decay and low-mileage neglect. You should inspect all rubber elements, specifically suspension bushes and brake hoses, which can crack and perish regardless of low mileage. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and seized calipers that often occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the sills and rear wing arches, as these areas are prone to hidden rust that may not always be caught during a standard MOT inspection until it becomes significant.
