2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WL56 ADX

The 2006 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no active defects, confirmed by the most recent MOT pass on 22 February 2022 at 142,011 miles. The official DVSA record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the five tests held between 2019 and 2022. Maintenance appears consistent and the vehicle cleared its final recorded test without issue. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a twenty-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,100 miles per year. The record charts 116,545 miles on 2 March 2019, 122,556 on 24 February 2020, 132,941 on 22 February 2021, and 142,011 on 22 February 2022. The 2021 entry shows a failed test logged on the same date and mileage as the pass, with no defects cited, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or fatigued coil springs were not flagged, but at 142,011 miles and twenty years old these components demand hands-on checks. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be tested for hidden degradation the MOT did not capture. Given the 2022 test is over four years old relative to today's date, the vehicle requires a fresh MOT before any purchase. Structural integrity and underbody rust remain the primary risks on an older Focus, and a ramp inspection will confirm whether the stable history reflects genuine care or simply light examiner scrutiny.
