2006 FORD FOCUS C-MAX1.8L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in November 2022 at 139,822 miles passed with advisories for worn nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate the onset of mechanical wear in the front end. Given that no MOT has been recorded for nearly four years, the vehicle's current roadworthiness is unverified and requires an immediate inspection to identify further degradation. The recorded mileage of 139,822 miles is consistent with the vehicle's twenty-year age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady rate of use with no significant gaps in testing; for instance, the car covered roughly 5,600 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the low annual mileage means that certain components may be failing due to age-related decay, such as brittle seals or perished rubber, rather than simply wearing through mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and lighting assemblies. The history reveals a recurring issue with headlamp deterioration, with failures in 2017, 2019, and 2020 due to lens oxidation or surface defects. The 2022 advisories regarding suspension arm bushes suggest that the rubber components are likely nearing replacement, which can affect handling and cause tyre wear. Furthermore, because the last recorded test was in 2022, the buyer must verify the condition of the braking system, as previous records noted thin pads in 2016 and pitted discs in 2015, indicating a history of running components to their functional limits.
