2002 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · HS02 ASZ

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the 2026 MOT test, which passed with two minor advisories. The maintenance trend is stable, with the most recent test showing only a corroded offside rear brake pipe and a worn rear anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush, both of which are non-critical. The mileage of 105,674 miles over 24 years is low, averaging roughly 4,403 miles per year, which is consistent with a vehicle that has been driven lightly or left to stand for extended periods. The gaps between tests are irregular, with a failed test in March 2017 and a long stretch of passing tests from 2018 to 2023, suggesting the vehicle was not regularly inspected during this period. A buyer should inspect the rear anti-roll bar linkage and the offside rear brake pipe for corrosion, as these were the only issues flagged in the most recent test. The history of corroded rear coil springs, worn front tyres, and chafed brake hoses indicates that the front suspension and braking system have been under significant stress. The front brake pads were noted as thin in 2015, and the rear coil springs have corroded repeatedly, which points to a pattern of deferred maintenance that could affect structural integrity if not addressed.
