2000 FORD FOCUS1.8L PETROL

The most recent MOT entry for this 2000 Ford Focus is from 2015-02-23, over 11 years ago. No subsequent MOT records exist, which is a significant concern. A vehicle of this age should have regular testing, and the absence of recent data suggests potential neglect or lack of maintenance. The last recorded mileage of 107,920 miles (as of 2015) indicates an average annual usage of 4,151 miles, which is low for a 26-year-old vehicle. This could imply infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to mechanical degradation, particularly in components like tyres, suspension, and electrical systems. The 2015 MOT reveals multiple critical issues. The nearside rear tyre failed due to tread depth below 1.6mm, and the offside rear tyre had a structural bulge, both of which pose immediate safety risks. The offside front sub-frame showed corrosion, though it was not seriously weakened. These defects suggest ongoing wear and potential exposure to environmental factors. Earlier MOTs from 2014 and 2013 recorded minor issues, such as a broken exhaust pipe and faded headlight lenses, but no major defects.
