2002 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · GL02 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available history, though the record is now outdated. The most recent test in October 2021 at 117,480 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. However, because no test has been recorded for nearly five years, the current structural integrity and the state of the safety-critical components cannot be verified without a fresh inspection. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent, slow growth between 102,434 miles in April 2018 and 117,480 miles in October 2021. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts. The five-year gap since the last recorded entry suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary or been used infrequently recently, which risks seized calipers or perished fluid breakdown. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the condition of the chassis and suspension mounting, as the age of the vehicle makes it susceptible to corrosion regardless of low mileage. Inspect the rear wheel arches, sills, and control arm bushes for cracking or dry rot, which occur over time. Given the long interval since the last MOT, check the brake system for binding or surface rust and ensure the tyres have not developed flat spots or significant sidew despite having sufficient tread depth.
