2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · A17 KBR

The 2006 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 70,314 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since 2022. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 70,314 against an age of nearly twenty years, equating to roughly 3,516 miles per year. The tests confirm extremely low annual use: the car covered only 557 miles between 30 August 2022 and 1 September 2023, and just 344 miles in the year to September 2025. A same-day fail and pass on 30 August 2022 at 68,756 and 68,757 miles points to a minor administrative or retest correction rather than a genuine defect, as no faults were logged on either certificate. Such low mileage and a clean MOT trail suggest the previous keeper used the car lightly and kept basic upkeep current, with no skipped consumables or ignored corrosion. Prolonged standing, however, can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to crack, and underbody structural rust to develop unseen by the tester. A buyer should still inspect brake discs and calipers for binding after storage, check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and examine sills and subframes for corrosion. Confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits given the infrequently warmed engine, and verify tyre sidewalls for age-related degradation before relying on the clean record alone.
