2002 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AD02 NNW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted in February 2022 at 100,966 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating the car was in a mechanically sound condition at that time. However, because more than four years have elapsed since that last certification, the vehicle is currently out of its MOT test and its present roadworthiness status cannot be verified without a fresh inspection. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between March 2019 and February 2021, where the car covered only 9,799 miles over two years. Conversely, the period between February 2021 and February 2022 saw a higher usage rate of 6,267 miles. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity or low use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion of braking surfaces. Given the age of this Ford Focus, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and the condition of perishable parts. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes due to lack of movement. You must check for significant corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, which are common failure points for this model over two decades. Since no data exists beyond early 2022, the state of the tyres, fluids, and exhaust system must be manually verified to ensure the vehicle has not deteriorated during the extended period without official testing.
