2003 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · AX52 KCY

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 13 July 2022 at 146,798 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of passes suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard that meets minimum legal requirements, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures appearing in the documented testing period. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,383 miles per annum. Between April 2016 and July 2022, the car covered 24,005 miles, indicating relatively low-intensity use. There is a notable gap between the September 2020 and July 2022 tests where the vehicle covered only 2,259 miles, which may suggest periods of inactivity. While the low mileage is typical, the fact that the vehicle passed without advisories during these intervals implies the components remained functional despite the infrequent usage. Given that the last MOT was recorded nearly four years ago, a buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection to identify age-related degradation that the record cannot capture. Focus should be placed on structural integrity, specifically checking the rear arches and sills for corrosion which are common failure points for this generation. Inspect all rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking or perishing, as these often degrade through age regardless of low mileage. Check the brakes for binding calipers or seized pistons to ensure the low-frequency use has not led to corrosion within the braking system.
