2002 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · RK52 KUX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 29 April 2025 at 146,426 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently addressed issues identified during previous failed tests. While the history shows instances of failure in 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest the owner is willing to rectify identified mechanical or safety defects rather than allowing them to persist. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 146,426 miles averages to approximately 6,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 6,700 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 1,714 miles between March 2024 and April 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension, as the lack of advisories in the most recent tests indicates no immediate corrosion or worn bushes are currently present. Given the age of the Focus, close attention must be paid to the rear subframe and mounting points for hidden rust. Since the failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that specific components required intervention, the buyer should verify the brake lines and exhaust condition to ensure the recent repairs remain robust and free of new leaks.
