2002 Ford Focus 1.4L Petrol · FX02 GDY

The 2022‑04‑13 MOT at 98,568 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle presently satisfies the DVSA roadworthiness criteria. No failures or advisories were noted, indicating a stable condition following the latest test. The mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s 24‑year lifespan is modest, averaging about 4,100 miles per year, and the record shows periods of rapid growth between 2010 and 2014, when the odometer rose from 63,159 miles in July 2010 to 88,631 miles in June 2014, and a slower increase thereafter, with only 497 miles added between April 2021 and April 2022. Recurring observations such as tyres worn close to the legal limit, damaged suspension ball‑joint dust covers, windscreen cracks, and a slightly corroded fuel filler pipe suggest that previous owners allowed consumable items to approach wear limits and permitted minor structural corrosion, but the absence of major mechanical failures after 2014 implies that any identified issues have been rectified. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension bushes and ball joints, verify brake disc and pad wear, assess tyre tread depth, inspect the windscreen for cracks or repairs, and look for rust on the chassis and fuel system, as these items have repeatedly appeared in the MOT history.
