2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GJ56 ALU

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 16 November 2024 at 125,758 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passing every inspection without a single recorded fault, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a twenty-year-old vehicle. Between the 2 October 2020 test at 99,664 miles and the November 2024 test at 125,758 miles, the car covered 26,094 miles. This averages roughly 6,500 miles per year, indicating regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. While the DVSA record is remarkably clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a physical check of areas the MOT may not flag as failures. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and sills for surface corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. These components naturally degrade over two decades regardless of the MOT outcome. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs or tyre tread over the last five years is unusual for this mileage. You should verify the date codes on the tyres and check for any signs of brake disc pitting or caliper sticking. Given the lack of recorded faults, the primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the oil and timing belt have been changed according to the manufacturer's intervals.
