2002 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · BK02 ACZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent pass on April 4 2025. While the maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive repairs where the car failed just days before a pass in both 2024 and 2025, the current record indicates no active defects or advisories. The trend of recurring failures suggests that the owner is attentive to addressing immediate mechanical requirements to maintain road legality, rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage data indicates a very low usage pattern for a vehicle of twenty-four years. The car progressed from 86,838 miles in April 2023 to 88,851 miles in April 2024, representing an accumulation of only 2,013 miles in a year. The mileage recorded for the April 2025 test continues this trend, suggesting the vehicle is used sparingly for short trips or remains stationary. This low annual mileage often reduces wear on engine components but increases the risk of age-related degradation and seized components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting, given the vehicle's age. Ford Focus models from this era are prone to corrosion on the rear subframe and sills. Because the car is driven infrequently, the rubber components such as suspension bushes, boots, and tyre sidewalls have perished or cracked despite low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or corrosion, as infrequent use frequently leads to seized calipers and surface rust buildup.
