2006 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · AF56 OAL

The 2006 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent DVSA test on 8 May 2025 at 116,253 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the vehicle clearing every pass test without advisories and showing no worsening mechanical faults. Two failed tests in May 2023 and May 2024 were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical failure. Recorded mileage sits at 116,253 against a 20-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,813 miles per year which is low for the age. The odometer moved only 1,864 miles between the 15 May 2023 test at 113,389 miles and the 8 May 2025 pass at 116,253 miles, confirming light use or extended standing periods. Sparse clean records from 2023 to 2025 show no rapid accumulation or concerning gaps beyond the low annual rate. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely prolonged static storage which accelerates rubber perishing and surface corrosion. The clean MOT history offers no flagged structural integrity concerns, yet twenty-year-old Ford Focus bodies are prone to sills and subframe rust unseen in a pass test. Verify the exhaust emissions system and check for binding calipers from disuse before purchase.
