2002 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · FL02 WBX

The 2002 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 16 October 2024 at 115,805 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the supplied history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. This clean record suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a basic pass standard, though the lack of recorded advisories on a 22-year-old car warrants physical verification of wear items. Recorded mileage stands at 115,805 miles against a 24-year lifespan, equating to a low average of roughly 4,825 miles per year. The history shows a notable gap between the 24 February 2022 test at 108,130 miles and the 4 November 2023 test at 108,820 miles, reflecting only 690 miles in twenty months and implying a period of limited use or storage. From November 2023 to October 2024 the car covered 6,985 miles, a modest annualised return to regular running. The sparse four-entry record offers little granular insight into component condition. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points for corrosion given the vehicle's age and low standing-mileage pattern, as MOT testers recorded no advisories that would flag such degradation. Brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses require hands-on checks for seizing or perished rubber, since the October 2024 pass gives no assurance beyond test-day function. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity under arches and sills should be examined for hidden rust not captured by the clean tests. The failed test on 15 October 2024 at 115,802 miles with no defects listed points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, resolved within one day by pass. Previous keepers sustained the Focus to minimal legal standard without neglect signals such as repeated tyre or lighting failures. Prospective owners must still commission an independent underside inspection before purchase.
