2006 Ford Focus C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · WL56 AFO

The 2006 Ford Focus C-MAX presents a broadly stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 6 November 2023 at 184,703 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 22 July 2022 at 171,137 miles and on 6 July 2021 at 156,873 miles. The only blemish in the sequence is a failure logged on 21 July 2022 at 171,133 miles, reversed within a day by a pass with no advisories or defects listed, which suggests a minor administrative or procedural rejection rather than a substantive mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 184,703 against an approximate twenty-year lifespan, equating to roughly 9,235 miles per year and reflecting typical use for the model age. The odometer advanced from 142,375 on 24 July 2020 to 156,873 on 6 July 2021, then to 171,137 by 22 July 2022, and finally to 184,703 by November 2023, showing steady annual accumulation with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The MOT data is sparse on faults, carrying no advisories across the five entries, so the history alone offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, given the vehicle's age and exposed underside components common to early C-MAX platforms. The tester recorded no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns, yet twenty years of service can hide perished rubber mounts or binding calipers not captured in a clean pass. Pre-purchase checks ought to confirm tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and fluid leaks around the drivetrain, as these consumables fall outside MOT failure thresholds until worn critical. The absent advisory trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the 2022 same-week fail-pass pair warrants a glance at the original refusal reason to rule out a recurring minor defect.
