2002 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MF02 ASU

This vehicle presents as mechanically stable with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 44,405 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2023, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has suffered very little wear. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 24 year old car, averaging roughly 1,850 miles per year. Between 10 October 2023 and 26 September 2025, the odometer increased by only 4,149 miles. Such low usage often indicates a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary, which can lead to specific degradation issues not always captured in a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus on components that perish regardless of mileage. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls can crack and harden over two decades. The lack of recorded defects in the MOT history is positive, but the low annual mileage suggests a risk of seized brake calipers or degraded brake fluid. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and sills, as these are common failure points for this era of Ford Focus. While the record shows no structural failures, a physical inspection of the underbody is necessary to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from moisture buildup during periods of inactivity.
