2002 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GV52 FNG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent inspection on 23 January 2026 at 104,552 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repair rather than proactive upkeep. While the car failed tests in late 2025 and late 2024, the subsequent passes following these failures indicate that the owner addresses specific defects flagged by the tester. The clean sheet from the latest test suggests the vehicle is currently without immediate mechanical or structural failures. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 104,552 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,356 miles. The data reveals significant periods of relative inactivity; for instance, the vehicle covered only 239 miles between November 2024 and December 2024, and just 171 miles between November 2025 and January 2026. This low-usage pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and brake fluid moisture due to lack of movement, despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis, as the vehicle's age makes it susceptible to corrosion in the sills and rear suspension points. Given the long standing periods, the buyer should check for seized brake calipers and rusted discs which frequently occur when a car sits for extended months. Additionally, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking, as these components age over time regardless of the mileage driven.
