2001 FORD FOCUS1.8L DIESEL

The 2001 Ford Focus has a recorded mileage of 102,087 miles, making it 25 years old. This equates to an average of 4,083 miles per year, which is low for its age. Such low mileage may indicate light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues like fluid degradation, rubber component hardening, or corrosion. However, the lack of recent MOT records after 2013 raises concerns about the vehicle’s ongoing condition. The most recent MOT entry is from 2013-09-24, a pass with no defects recorded. However, prior to this, the vehicle had multiple failures in 2012 and 2013. These included braking system leaks, imbalanced brakes, oil leaks, a nail in the tyre, and excessive exhaust smoke. The 2012 failures also noted a near-limit tyre wear and a non-working stop lamp. While some issues were addressed by 2013, the recurring presence of brake-related and oil leak defects suggests potential maintenance oversights or systemic wear. The pattern of defects shows a focus on braking systems, tyres, and fluid leaks.
