2003 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · PX53 YTO

The 2003 Ford Focus is roadworthy, having passed the September 2022 MOT at 122,438 miles with no defects recorded, showing a stable maintenance trend and no advisory notes on brakes, suspension or structural rust. The earlier August 2021 MOT at 120,489 miles also reported no defects, representing only 1,949 miles of use over the following 13 months, or about 1,500 miles per year, far below the vehicle’s average annual mileage of 5,300 miles and indicating long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and look for any structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and sills, while also checking tyre tread and wiper blade condition. The clean MOT history and low mileage suggest careful use, but a detailed physical inspection of these key components remains essential before final purchase.
