2002 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · BD02 ACZ

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 22 October 2024 at 147,280 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and resolved. While the history shows failures in 2022 and 2023, the subsequent clean sheets suggest the current owner has been proactive in rectifying identified faults. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 147,280 represents an average annual usage of approximately 6,137 miles. This figure aligns with typical light usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent mileage patterns, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between October 2022 and October 2023, and another 8,186 miles covered leading up to the 2024 test. This regularity suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and seized components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and lower suspension components, as these are common areas of failure for the Ford Focus of this generation. Although the recent tests are clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look for corrosion on the sills, rear subframe, and brake mounting points. Inspect the control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or fatigue, as the MOT record does not explicitly list past advisories that would indicate the wear levels of these specific components.
