2003 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WR03 RHJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 28 April 2025 with 91,475 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a singular failure recorded just five days prior to that pass at an identical mileage. This suggests a minor, rectifyableion was addressed immediately, resulting in a clean certificate for the most recent inspection period. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of 2003, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in testing between November 2022 (68,675 miles) and April 2024 (81,084 miles), during which the car covered over 12,000 miles in sixteen months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and internal corrosion within braking lines. Given the age of the vehicle and the recorded history, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection focused on structural integrity, specifically checking for rust in the sills, wheel arches, and rear pans which are common failure points for this model. Because the car has been used person, it is essential to verify the condition of suspension bushes, mounts, and rubber hoses for cracking or perished. Additionally, the braking system should be checked for seized calipers or disc pitting, as low mileage may have resulted in infrequent use of the mechanical components.
