2002 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · NG02 AFZ

This 2002 Ford Focus maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT on 3 May 2025 at 128,251 miles resulting in a pass with zero recorded defects. The vehicle shows a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last four years, as every annual test from April 2022 through May 2025 has been completed without a single advisory or failure. This level of consistency indicates that the current owner has likely adhered to a proactive servicing schedule, addressing potential issues before they reached the point of inspection. The recorded mileage of 128,251 over a 24-year lifespan averages approximately 5,344 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this vintage. The data shows a steady, modest increase in usage, with 2,867 miles added between April 2022 and May 2023, followed by a jump of 1,913 miles in the subsequent year, and a more pronounced increase of 8,178 miles leading up to the May 2025 test. This pattern suggests the car has transitioned from a period of light or occasional use into a more active role, which is generally beneficial for preventing the mechanical stagnation often seen in older, low-mileage examples. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and subframes. Ford Focus models of this era are prone to structural corrosion, particularly around the rear sills, wheel arches, and suspension mounting points, which may not always be captured in a standard visual test. You should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these rubber and metal components deteriorate with age regardless of mileage. While the absence of brake-related advisories is encouraging, check the discs and pads for signs of surface oxidation or binding calipers that can occur if the vehicle has spent extended periods parked in damp conditions.
