2002 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · KJ02 AFA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. It passed its last MOT on 17 August 2023 at 152,259 miles with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car was in a passing condition at that time. While the history shows previous failures in 2021 and 2022, the subsequent passes suggest that the owner addressed identified faults immediately to maintain legal compliance. At a recorded mileage of 152,259 miles over 24 years, the Focus averages approximately 6,344 miles per annum. This consistent usage pattern aligns with typical light driving expectations for a vehicle of this age, suggesting the car has not been subjected to extreme annual stress. The record shows a steady interval between tests with roughly 4,000 miles covered between July 2021 and July 2022, and another 7,912 miles between July 2022 and August 2023. However, the last test is now nearly three years old as of today, meaning the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unverified. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are common failure points for the first-generation Ford Focus. Given the time elapsed since the last official check, a thorough search for corrosion on the subframe, rear suspension points, and arches is essential. The previous failures in 2021 and 2022 indicate the vehicle has been prone to specific issues, so the buyer must verify the condition of the rubber bushes and the state of the brake lines to ensure no significant degradation has occurred since the 2023 pass.
