2006 FORD FOCUS1.6L Petrol

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend with no recent failures, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent recorded test occurred on 24 February 2022 at 141,101 miles, which means the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual inspection by more than four years. While the 2022 result was a clean pass, the lack of recent data prevents a definitive assessment of its current mechanical state or roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,055 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 45,537 miles in March 2010 to 141,101 miles in February 2022. A notable jump occurred between February 2016 and February 2017, where the mileage increased by roughly 23,600 miles, suggesting a period of higher usage compared to the more gradual increments seen in earlier years. Previous inspection data highlights recurring issues with suspension components and tyre wear. The tester flagged deteriorated suspension arm rubber bushes in February 2017 and a worn nearside rear upper suspension arm bush in February 2019. These findings suggest the rubber components in the suspension system are prone to degradation on this vehicle. An oil leak was also noted in February 2020, though it was described as not excessive at that time. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes and wishbones to check for splitting or excessive play. Given the history of worn tyres and the 2021 failure regarding an offside front tyre, the current tread depth and alignment should be verified. It is also necessary to inspect the engine bay for any signs of the previously noted oil leak and to confirm that the vehicle has undergone a recent MOT, as the recorded history has not been updated since early 2022.
