2002 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FN02 ODY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history over the last four years. The most recent test on 29 November 2021 at 100,760 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just three days prior at 100,759 miles. This isolated failure likely involved a minor administrative issue or a simple consumable item that was rectified immediately, as the subsequent test showed a clean sheet without mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. Between October 2018 at 96,973 miles and November 2021 at 100,760 miles, the car covered only 3,787 miles. This consistent low usage suggests light operation or long periods of stationary. Such low mileage on older vehicles often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluid-related systems that are not always captured during a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as the age of the vehicle makes it susceptible to corrosion despite the low mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these parts can perish over time due to age rather than through wear. Additionally, check the brake system for seized calipers or rusted discs, which are common issues in vehicles that sit for extended periods without frequent use.
