AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2002 Ford Focus has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 20,504 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is also invalid, making it unroadworthy.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 20,504 miles over 24 years, averaging 6,125 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- Overheating and coolant migration failures (1998–present) — severe engine risk.
- Major coolant migration to cylinders (Apr 2019) — indicates unresolved engine fault.
- Engine MIL inoperative or malfunction (Apr 2019) — critical safety system failure.
- MOT expired 2020-10-29; current status 'Not valid' — vehicle is unroadworthy.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,125 mi/yr) — no suspicious gaps.
- No recurring failures on the same system after the major coolant failure.
- Single minor failure (wiper) immediately rectified (Apr 2019).
