2002 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · RO52 AFK

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 18 February 2026 at 85,671 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While a failure was logged on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 24 year old car, averaging roughly 3,570 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between February 2025 and February 2026, where the odometer rose from 72,733 to 85,671 miles. This indicates the car has transitioned from a period of very light use to more regular driving over the last twelve months. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this vintage, showing no recorded advisories or failures across five tests since January 2023. While this suggests a well-maintained example, the absence of any flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust components is rare for a 2002 model. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of corrosion and rubber degradation. Low-mileage cars often suffer from perished tyres, cracked suspension bushings, and seized brake calipers due to long periods of standing. Check the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed history of rust prevention or underbody condition.
